Question

I’m confused about what the word “object” does in PHP for example:

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
   $images[] = (object) $row;
}

What does “(object)” do? I’ve seen it occur multiple times and do not know it’s purpose nor what it does, any explanation would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

It is used to place a variable inside an object in PHP.

You’re using semi-deprecated functions btw, be careful with your useage, such as mysql_fetch_oject().
