array Set::reverse ($object)

Set::reverse is basically the opposite of Set::map. It converts an object into an array. If $object is not an object, reverse will simply return $object.

$result = Set::reverse(null);
// Null
$result = Set::reverse(false);
// false
$a = array(
	'Post' => array('id'=> 1, 'title' => 'First Post'),
	'Comment' => array(
		array('id'=> 1, 'title' => 'First Comment'),
		array('id'=> 2, 'title' => 'Second Comment')
	),
	'Tag' => array(
		array('id'=> 1, 'title' => 'First Tag'),
		array('id'=> 2, 'title' => 'Second Tag')
	),
);
$map = Set::map($a); // Turn $a into a class object
/* $map now looks like:
	stdClass Object
	(
	    [_name_] => Post
	    [id] => 1
	    [title] => First Post
	    [Comment] => Array
	        (
