DB2_FETCH_OBJECT(3)							 1						       DB2_FETCH_OBJECT(3)

db2_fetch_object - Returns an object with properties representing columns in the fetched row

SYNOPSIS
       object db2_fetch_object (resource  $stmt, [int  $row_number = -1])

DESCRIPTION
	Returns an object in which each property represents a column returned in the row fetched from a result set.

PARAMETERS
	      o $stmt
		- A valid stmt resource containing a result set.

	      o $row_number
		-  Requests a specific 1-indexed row from the result set. Passing this parameter results in a PHP warning if the result set uses a
		forward-only cursor.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns an object representing a single row in the result set. The properties of the object map to the names of the columns in the  result
       set.

	The  IBM  DB2,	Cloudscape,  and  Apache  Derby  database servers typically fold column names to upper-case, so the object properties will
       reflect that case.

	If your SELECT statement calls a scalar function to modify the value of a column, the database servers return the  column  number  as  the
       name of the column in the result set. If you prefer a more descriptive column name and object property, you can use the AS clause to assign
       a name to the column in the result set.

	Returns FALSE if no row was retrieved.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      A db2_fetch_object(3) example

	       The following example issues a SELECT statement with a scalar function, RTRIM, that removes whitespace from the end of the  column.
	      Rather  than creating an object with the properties "BREED" and "2", we use the AS clause in the SELECT statement to assign the name
	      "name" to the modified column. The database server folds the column names to upper-case, resulting in an object with the	properties
	      "BREED" and "NAME".

	      <?php
	      $conn = db2_connect($database, $user, $password);

	      $sql = "SELECT breed, RTRIM(name) AS name
		  FROM animals
		  WHERE id = ?";

	      if ($conn) {
		  $stmt = db2_prepare($conn, $sql);
		  db2_execute($stmt, array(0));

		  while ($pet = db2_fetch_object($stmt)) {
		      echo "Come here, {$pet->NAME}, my little {$pet->BREED}!";
		  }
		  db2_close($conn);
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      Come here, Pook, my little cat!
