Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP mysqli_fetch_object() Function.
The built-in mysqli_fetch_object() function accepts a result object as a parameter and, retrieves the contents of current row in the given result and returns them as an object.
The built-in mysqli_fetch_object() function accepts a result object as a parameter and, retrieves the contents of current row in the given result and returns them as an object.
Syntax
Following below is the syntax to use this function -
mysqli_fetch_object($result, [$class_name, $params]);
Parameter Details
Sr.No | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 | result(Mandatory) This is an identifier representing a result object. |
2 | class_name(Optional) The name of the class to instantiate, set the properties of and return. |
3 | params(Optional) An array representing the optional parameters. |
Return Value
This built-in PHP function returns an object (with string properties) which holds the current row of the result object. This PHP function returns NULL if there are no more rows.
PHP Version
This PHP function was first introduced in PHP version 5 and works in all the later versions.
Example1
The following below is an example which demonstrates the usage of PHP mysqli_fetch_object() function (in a procedural style) -
<?php $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb"); mysqli_query($con, "CREATE TABLE myplayers(ID INT, First_Name VARCHAR(255), Last_Name VARCHAR(255), Place_Of_Birth VARCHAR(255), Country VARCHAR(255))"); print("Table Created.....\n"); mysqli_query($con, "INSERT INTO myplayers values(1, 'Kennedy', 'Nkpara', 'PortHarcourt', 'Nigeria')"); mysqli_query($con, "INSERT INTO myplayers values(2, 'Jonathan', 'Trott', 'CapeTown', 'SouthAfrica')"); mysqli_query($con, "INSERT INTO myplayers values(3, 'Queen', 'Douglas', 'Texas', 'UnitedStates')"); print("Record Inserted.....\n"); //Retrieving the contents of the table $res = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM myplayers"); //Fetching all the rows as objects while($obj = mysqli_fetch_object($res)){ print("ID: ".$obj->ID."\n"); print("First_Name: ".$obj->First_Name."\n"); print("Last_Name: ".$obj->Last_Name."\n"); print("Place_Of_Birth: ".$obj->Place_Of_Birth."\n"); print("Country: ".$obj->Country."\n"); } //Closing the statement mysqli_free_result($res); //Closing the connection mysqli_close($con); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
Table Created..... Record Inserted..... ID: 1 First_Name: Kennedy Last_Name: Nkpara Place_Of_Birth: PortHarcourt Country: Nigeria ID: 2 First_Name: Jonathan Last_Name: Trott Place_Of_Birth: CapeTown Country: SouthAfrica ID: 3 First_Name: Queen Last_Name: Douglas Place_Of_Birth: Texas Country: UnitedStates
Example2
In an object oriented style the syntax of this function is $result->fetch_object(); Following is the example of this function in an object oriented style -
<?php //Creating a connection $con = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb"); $con -> query("CREATE TABLE Test(Name VARCHAR(255), Age INT)"); $con -> query("insert into Test values('Kennedy', 27),('Paul', 30),('Justice', 28)"); print("Table Created.....\n"); $stmt = $con -> prepare( "SELECT * FROM Test WHERE Name in(?, ?)"); $stmt -> bind_param("ss", $name1, $name2); $name1 = 'Kennedy'; $name2 = 'Paul'; //Executing the statement $stmt->execute(); //Retrieving the result $result = $stmt->get_result(); //Fetching all the rows as arrays while($obj = $result->fetch_object()){ print("Name: ".$obj->Name."\n"); print("Age: ".$obj->Age."\n"); } //Closing the statement $stmt->close(); //Closing the connection $con->close(); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
Table Created..... Name: Kennedy Age: 27 Name: Paul Age: 30
