note 114722 added to mysqli-result.fetch-object

As a best practice, if you intend to use a defined class when using fetching_object(). Put the data obtaining code within a static method of the defined class. Otherwise, wherever you include the file (if not using an autoloader) the data connection will occur whether you want it to or not. For example: <?php class User { public $name; public static function getUser($id) { $conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database'); if ($result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {$id} LIMIT 1")) { return $result->fetch_object('User'); $result->close(); } } } ?> Call the static method to obtain an instance of the User class with your data applied to it. <?php $user = User::getUser('31'); echo $user->name; // echo's 'Phil' ?> ---- Server IP: 192.41.45.150 Probable Submitter: 82.68.82.229 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.fetch-object.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114722 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114722/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114722/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114722/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114722/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114722/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114722/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114722 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114722 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
