Syntax
object
msql_fetch_object ( resource query_identifier [, int result_type] )
Returns an object with properties that correspond to the fetched
row, or FALSE if there are no more rows.
msql_fetch_object() is similar to
msql_fetch_array(), with one difference - an
object is returned, instead of an array. Indirectly, that means
that you can only access the data by the field names, and not by
their offsets (numbers are illegal property names).
The second optional argument result_type
is a constant and can take the following values:
MSQL_ASSOC, MSQL_NUM, and
MSQL_BOTH with MSQL_BOTH being
the default.
Speed-wise, the function is identical to
msql_fetch_array(), and almost as quick as
msql_fetch_row() (the difference is
insignificant).
| Warning |
In PHP versions prior to 4.3.11 and 5.0.4 a bug existed
when retrieving data from columns containing NULL values.
Such columns were not placed into the resulting array.

Example 1. msql_fetch_object() example
<?php
$con = msql_connect();
if (!$con) {
die('Server connection problem: ' . msql_error());
}
if (!msql_select_db('test', $con)) {
die('Database connection problem: ' . msql_error());
}
$result = msql_query('SELECT id, name FROM people', $con);
if (!$result) {
die('Query execution problem: ' . msql_error());
}
while ($row = msql_fetch_object($result, MSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo $row->id . ': ' . $row->name . "\n";
}
msql_free_result($result);
?>
