TypeCasting Array Elements into Custom Objects

[yajuu]

I have a class 'User' this class is contained in a seperate file 'User.inc'.  Inside the class user i have a function 'getUsers()' which returns an array of type 'User'.

class User
{
var FirstName;
var LastName;

public function setFirstName($firstName)
{
$this->FirstName = $firstName;	
}
public function getFirstName()
{
return $this->FirstName;
}
public function setLastName($lastName)
{
$this->LastName = $lastName;
}
public function getLastName()
{
return $this->LastName;
}
public function getUsers()
{
$Users;
$DBConnect = mysqli_connect('localhost', '******, '******', '******');
$QueryString = "SELECT * FROM user";
$QueryResult = mysqli_query($DBConnect, $QueryString);
$Row = mysqli_fetch_row($QueryResult);
while ($Row)
{
 	$user = new User();
	$user->setFirstName($Row['FirstName']);
	$user->setLastName($Row['LastName']);
	$Users[] = $user;
	$Row = mysqli_fetch_row($QueryResult);
}
mysqli_close($DBConnect);
return $Users;
}
}

 

In my seperate PHP page I am trying to display the list of users:

include("Classes/User.inc");
$User = new User();
$UserList = $UserClass->getUsers();
$UserCount = count($UserList);

for ($i = 0; $i <= $UserCount; $i++)
  {
             $User = (User)$UserList[$i]; 
  	echo "<h1>", $User->getFirstName()," ",  $User->getLastName(),"</h1>";
  }

 

Is this possible?

Not possible. But it would be nice, eh?

 

I've tried to do typecasting for custom objects before and it's not possible. The best solution for you, though, is to either write an Iterator, or.. have the User->__construct() method take a raw array and parse it.
