Never mind, that was stupid. I saw that somewhere before, but obviously it doesn't work.

I found some code, maybe I redeem myself? static public function cast(&$object, $class=__CLASS__){

       if(class_exists($class)) {
               $object = unserialize(
                       preg_replace('/^O:[0-9]+:"[^"]+":/i',
                       'O:'.strlen($class).':"'.$class.'":',
                       serialize($object)));
       }

} $row = odbc_fetch_object($result); structuresRemovalReason::cast($row); -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com

That's an interesting approach. Though I'm going to use reflection. I realise I need to hold some of the data in strings where the data is not a string (datetimes for example). So, using a docblock with a customtag and this seems to be working just fine. Extended ReflectionClass and ReflectionProperty. Thanks, Richard. Hi,

i think it will be important since more PHP Developer are using Design Patterns. I think the cast functionality should be implemented once... Regards Carlos
