     Returns an object with properties that correspond to the
     fetched row, or &false; if there are no more rows.
    </para>
    <para> 
     <function>sybase_fetch_object</function> is similar to
     <function>sybase_fetch_assoc</function>, with one difference - an object
     is returned, instead of an array.
    </para>  
    <para>
     Use the second <parameter>object</parameter> to specify the type of object
     you want to return. If this parameter is omitted, the object will be of
     type stdClass.
    </para>
    <note>
     <para>
      As of PHP 4.3.0, this function will no longer return numeric object members.
     </para>
     <para>
      Old behaviour:
      <screen>
<![CDATA[
object(stdclass)(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "foo"
  ["foo"]=>
  string(3) "foo"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "bar"
  ["bar"]=>
  string(3) "bar"
}
]]>
      </screen>
      New behaviour:
      <screen>
<![CDATA[
object(stdclass)(3) {
  ["foo"]=>
  string(3) "foo"
  ["bar"]=>
  string(3) "bar"
}
]]>
      </screen>
     </para>
    </note>
    <para>
     <example>
      <title><function>sybase_fetch_object</function> return as Foo</title>
      <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
    class Foo {
        var $foo, $bar, $baz;
    }
    
    // {...]
    $qrh= sybase_query('SELECT foo, bar, baz FROM example');
    $foo= sybase_fetch_object($qrh, 'Foo');
    $bar= sybase_fetch_object($qrh, new Foo());
    // {...]
?>
]]>
      </programlisting>
     </example>
    </para>
    <para>
     Speed-wise, the function is identical to
     <function>sybase_fetch_array</function>, and almost as quick as
     <function>sybase_fetch_row</function> (the difference is insignificant).
    </para>
    <para> 
     See also 
     <function>sybase_fetch_array</function> and
     <function>sybase_fetch_row</function>.
