note 117730 added to pdostatement.fetchobject

It should be mentioned that this method can set even non-public properties. It may sound strange but it can actually be very useful when creating an object based on mysql result. Consider a User class: <?php class User { // Private properties private $id, $name; private function __construct () {} public static function load_by_id ($id) { $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE id=?'); $stmt->execute([$id]); return $stmt->fetchObject(__CLASS__); } /* same method can be written with the "name" column/property */ } $user = User::load_by_id(1); var_dump($user); ?> fetchObject() doesn't care about properties being public or not. It just passes the result to the object. Output is like: object(User)#3 (2) { ["id":"User":private]=> string(1) "1" ["name":"User":private]=> string(10) "John Smith" } ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 95.43.74.221 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.fetchobject.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117730 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117730/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117730/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117730/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117730/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117730/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117730/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117730 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117730 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
