Question

I have a php classes like:

class bar{
    public $value;
}

class foo extends bar{
    public $value;
    public $name;
}

In database:

-bar table:
value
-----
'bar value 1'
'bar value 2'

-foo table:
value        |  name
-------------+--------------
'foo value 1'| 'foo name 1'
'foo value 2'| 'foo name 2'

How can I store and fetch them by using PDO FETCH_CLASS?

Answer 1

potential coolness

select 'foo', name, value from footable;

PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE uses the first column in the results to determine the classname to instantiate for that row.

$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE);
