Object Initialization

To initialize an object, you use the new statement to instantiate the object to a variable.


<?php

class foo

{

    function do_foo()

    {

        echo "Doing foo."; 

    }

}



$bar = new foo;

$bar->do_foo();

?>

For a full discussion, please read the section Classes and Objects.

If an object is converted to an object, it is not modified. If a value of any other type is converted to an object, a new instance of the stdClass built in class is created. If the value was NULL, the new instance will be empty. Array converts to an object with properties named by array keys and with corresponding values. For any other value, a member variable named scalar will contain the value.


<?php

$obj = (object) 'ciao';

echo $obj->scalar;  // outputs 'ciao'

?>
