I, for one, was surprised that this does what it does with PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 (do not have older version of PHP hand).

This is how FETCH_CLASS works now - when it has an object in where it expects class name, it uses object's class. We could call toString() instead but that might be even more surprising. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
