SYNOPSIS
       Warning

	      This  extension  is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should
	      be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:

		     omysqli_fetch_object(3)

		     o PDOStatement::fetch

       object mysql_fetch_object (resource  $result, [string  $class_name], [array  $params])

DESCRIPTION
	Returns an object with properties that correspond to the fetched row and moves the internal data pointer ahead.

	      o $
		result -The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mysql_query(3).

	      o $class_name
		- The name of the class to instantiate, set the properties of and return. If not specified, a stdClass object is returned.

	      o $params
		- An optional array of parameters to pass to the constructor for $class_name objects.

	Returns an object with string properties that correspond to the fetched row, or FALSE if there are no more rows.

       Example #1

	      mysql_fetch_object(3) example

	      <?php
	      mysql_connect("hostname", "user", "password");
	      mysql_select_db("mydb");
	      $result = mysql_query("select * from mytable");
	      while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
		  echo $row->user_id;
		  echo $row->fullname;
	      }
	      mysql_free_result($result);
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      mysql_fetch_object(3) example

	      <?php
	      class foo {
		  public $name;
	      }

	      mysql_connect("hostname", "user", "password");
	      mysql_select_db("mydb");

	      $result = mysql_query("select name from mytable limit 1");
	      $obj = mysql_fetch_object($result, 'foo');
	      var_dump($obj);
	      ?>

       Note

	      Performance

	       Speed-wise, the function is identical to mysql_fetch_array(3), and  almost  as  quick  as  mysql_fetch_row(3)  (the  difference	is
	      insignificant).

       Note

	      mysql_fetch_object(3)  is  similar  to mysql_fetch_array(3), with one difference - an object is returned, instead of an array. Indi-
	      rectly, that means that you can only access the data by the field names, and not by their  offsets  (numbers  are  illegal  property
	      names).

       Note

	      Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.

       Note

	      This function sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value.
