How can I simply return objects in PDO?

Trying out PDO for the first time.

$dbh = new PDO(\"mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=animals\", $username, $password);

Answer 1

You can try this way:

$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=animals", $username, $password);

$stmt = $dbh->query("SELECT * FROM animals");
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, animals::class);

foreach($stmt as $animals)
{
    echo $animals->name;
}
