  <para>
   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>.
