How can PHP handle changing field names and values in an array of objects?

When dealing with changing field names and values in an array of objects in PHP, one approach is to use associative arrays where the keys represent the field names and the values represent the field values. This allows for flexibility in manipulating the data structure without relying on fixed object properties. By using associative arrays, we can easily modify field names and values as needed. 

// Sample code demonstrating how to handle changing field names and values in an array of objects using associative arrays

// Define an array of objects
$objects = [
    ['name' => 'John', 'age' => 30],
    ['name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 25]
];

// Change field names and values in the array of objects
foreach ($objects as &$object) {
    $object['full_name'] = $object['name']; // Change field name
    unset($object['name']); // Remove old field name
    $object['age'] += 5; // Update age value
}

// Print the modified array of objects
print_r($objects);
