Removing a StdClass Object in an multidimensional array [PHP] -

i'm looking convert array, i'm doing db associated array , reason have array within array key "region" , object value. i've tried unset , doesnt seem work!

if can issue, that'll massive help!

php code:

$sql = $db->get_records_sql('select sc.name `branch`, c.name    `region` mdl_auth_crowd_tag_sub_category sc join mdl_auth_crowd_tag_category c on sc.catid = c.id'); echo "</br>";        $array = $fields = array();       $i = 0;       if ($sql) {         $row = $sql;               foreach ($row $k=>$value) {                 if($k == 1){                     $array[$i]['branch'] = $value;                 } else {                     $array[$i]['region'] = $value;                 }                $i++;             }         }        var_dump($array); 

my current array output straight records:

array(3) {   [0]=>   array(1) {     ["region"]=>     object(stdclass)#634 (2) {       ["branch"]=>       string(6) "london"       ["region"]=>       string(10) "south east"     }   }   [1]=>   array(1) {     ["region"]=>     object(stdclass)#637 (2) {       ["branch"]=>       string(8) "plymouth"       ["region"]=>       string(10) "south west"     }   }   [2]=>   array(1) {     ["region"]=>     object(stdclass)#647 (2) {       ["branch"]=>       string(7) "preston"       ["region"]=>       string(10) "north west"     }   } } 

i want output, , remove object std array , replace array showing how many values within below!

array(3) {   [0]=>   array(2) {       ["branch"]=>       string(6) "london"       ["region"]=>       string(10) "south east"     }   }   [1]=>   array(2) {       ["branch"]=>       string(8) "plymouth"       ["region"]=>       string(10) "south west"     }   }   [2]=>   array(2) {       ["branch"]=>       string(7) "preston"       ["region"]=>       string(10) "north west"     }   } }
