Object Initialization

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

<?phpclass foo{     function do_foo()     {         echo "Doing foo.";     } } $bar = new foo;$bar->do_foo();?>

Converting to object

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'?>
