To create a new object, use the new statement to instantiate a class:
<?php
class foo
{
function do_foo()
{
echo "Doing foo.";
}
}
$bar = new foo;
$bar->do_foo();
?>
For a full discussion, see the Classes and Objects chapter.
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. Arrays convert to an object with properties
named by keys, and corresponding values. For any other value, a member
variable named scalar will contain the value.
<?php
$obj = (object) 'ciao';
echo $obj->scalar; // outputs 'ciao'
?>
