Make sure to specify the full namespace for the "string $class_name" parameter and not a partial one, as it won't find it. For example:
<?php
namespace Root(backslash)FirstLevel
{
public static function Test($result)
{
return mysqli_fetch_object($result, 'SecondLevel\\MyClass');
}
}
?>
... will not work but this will:
<?php
namespace Root(backslash)FirstLevel
{
public static function Test($result)
{
return mysqli_fetch_object($result, 'Root\\FirstLevel\\SecondLevel\\MyClass');
}
}
?>

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_nameobjects.
Return Values

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
NULLvalue.

Examples
Example #1 Object oriented style
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 50,5";
if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
/* fetch object array */
while ($obj = $result->fetch_object()) {
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $obj->Name, $obj->CountryCode);
}
/* free result set */
$result->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
Example #2 Procedural style
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 50,5";
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {
/* fetch associative array */
while ($obj = mysqli_fetch_object($result)) {
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $obj->Name, $obj->CountryCode);
}
/* free result set */
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above examples will output:
Pueblo (USA) Arvada (USA) Cape Coral (USA) Green Bay (USA) Santa Clara (USA)

I don't know why no one talk about this.
fetch_object is very powerful since you can instantiate an Object which has the methods you wanna have.
You can try like this..
<?php
class PowerfulVO extends AbstractWhatEver {
public $field1;
private $field2; // note : private is ok
public function method(){
// method in this class
}
}
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table ..."
$mysqli = new mysqli(........);
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
$vo = $result->fetch_object('PowerfulVO');
?>
Note : if the field is not defined in the class, fetch_object will add this field for you as public.
The method is very powerful, especially if you want to use a VO design pattern or class mapping feature with Flex Remoting Object( Of course, you need to have ZendAMF or AMFPHP ..framework)
Hope this help and open new possibilities for you
If your SQL code selects columns with empty names like so:
SELECT id as ``...
You will get a fatal error "Cannot access empty property", this took me a while to track down!
Obviously your SQL really shouldn't do that, and should be fixed but I'm going to submit a feature request to ask for a better error message for that.
