Question

I can do this when selecting a single row fine but cant quite get my head around doing this for multiple rows of data.

For the single row I simply instantiate a new object that does a number of operations behind the scenes that bascially produces a row from the database as our object.

Example:

$object = new Classname($param);
foreach($object->row as $key=>$value) {
    echo $key.":".$value."\n";
}

//output
id:1
firstname:steve
lastname:took
etc...

Any clever people here able to point me in the right direction please?

NOTE: just want to be able to create an object for each row rather than the one object with nested arrays

EDIT: sorry $object->row is a member of the class that stores selected row from the database

Why don’t you consider to use an ORM (Object Relational Mapper), like Doctrine or Propel?
I prefer Doctrine: http://www.doctrine-project.org/
Enjoy! 🙂
