PHP Manual: Returns the current row of a result set as an object

Description

Object oriented style

object mysqli_result::fetch_object ([ string $class_name [, array $params ]] )

Procedural style

object mysqli_fetch_object ( mysqli_result $result [, string $class_name [, array $params ]] )

The mysqli_fetch_object will return the current row result set as an object where the attributes of the object represent the names of the fields found within the result set.

Note that mysqli_fetch_object sets the properties of the object before calling the object constructor.

Parameters

result: Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query, mysqli_store_result or mysqli_use_result.
class_name: The name of the class to instantiate, set the properties of and return. If not specified, a stdClass object is returned.
params: An optional array of parameters to pass to the constructor for class_name objects.

Return Values

Returns an object with string properties that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there are no more rows in resultset.

Note: Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.

Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value.

Changelog

5.0.0	Added the ability to return as a different object.
