note 56044 added to function.mysql-fetch-object

This method offers a nice way to fetch objects from databases. As Federico at Pomi dot net mentioned it doesn't work native as the type of the object fetched isn't the right one, but with a small typecast it works flawlessly. <?php function ClassTypeCast(&$obj,$class_type){ if(class_exists($class_type)){ $obj = unserialize(preg_replace("/^O:[0-9]+:\\"[^\"]+\\":/i", "O:".strlen($class_type).":\\"".$class_type."\\":", serialize($obj))); } } class Foo { var $foo; var $bar; function get_from_db() { mysql_connect(); mysql_select_db(); $res = mysql_query("SELECT foo,bar from my_table"); $fetched_object = mysql_fetch_object($res); ClassTypeCast($fetched_object,"Foo"); $this = $fetched_object; } } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-object.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56044 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56044&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56044&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56044&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56044&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56044&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56044&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56044&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
