Update:
Test Controller for testing these methods

Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

public function index()
{
  $this->load->helper('array');
  
  // Create new stdClass Object
  $init = new stdClass;

  // Add some test data
  $init->foo = "Test data";
  $init->bar = new stdClass;
  $init->bar->baaz = "Testing";
  $init->bar->fooz = new stdClass;
  $init->bar->fooz->baz = "Testing again";
  $init->foox = "Just test";

  // Convert array to object and then object back to array
  $array  = object_to_array($init);
  $object = array_to_object($array);

  // Print objects and array
  echo "Init: stdClass <br>";
  print_r($init);
  echo "<br><br>";

  echo "Array: <br>";
  print_r($array);
  echo "<br><br>";

  echo "Object: <br>";
  print_r($object);

  exit();

  $this->load->view('welcome_message');
}

}
