Can you cast an array to an object of your choosing? If so, will the keys of
the array match up with the attributes of your object?
Say I have a class like this:
class Foo {
var $foo;
var $bar;
function Foo($foo = '', $bar = '') {
...
}
...
}
Then I have an array like:
$array['foo'] = "Hello";
$array['bar'] = "world";
If I do this:
$foo = new Foo();
$foo = (object)$array;
I've seen something similar done, but how do you keep $foo from forgetting
which class it belongs to? The second assignment is independent of the first
one, so $foo should become a plain object and forget that it's a "Foo"
object.
Any ideas?
By the way, I was thinking this would be a really nifty way to fetch rows
from the database into a pre-written class instead of doing it all manually.
You'd have all the object properties automatically set by:
$my_object = (object)$db->fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
I'm just worried about the object losing its membership in its original
class.
