Eg, If I had a object which had the queried result set from a database query within a private member, then could use toString() to display the current row as say a HTML version of it, use toArray to return the current row as an array, and use toObject to return the current row as an object. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80068&edit=1
