note 69867 added to function.mysql-fetch-object

The behavior of this function is slightly questionable. If you have a col in you table containing non-variable-name characters like "-", mysql_fetch_object will add "impossible variable names" to your object, e.g. object ( [user-id] => 7 ) You can not access this variable normally with $obj->user-id, because the variable name is invalid. But you can however access it like this: $foo = 'user-id'; echo $obj->$foo; It will correctly output 7, whereas var_dump($obj->user-id) would output int(0) for some reason. I got this behaviour with PHP 4.4.2. ---- Server IP: 217.13.201.10 Probable Submitter: 84.157.20.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-object.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69867 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69867/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69867/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69867/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69867/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69867/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69867/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69867 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69867 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
