Works here with PHP 5.0.4 and PostgreSQL 8.0.3:

class Foo {
function Foo($arg) {
print "DEBUG: Foo($arg)\n";
}
}

pg_connect("dbname=test user=test password=test");

$result = pg_query("SELECT 'foo' AS val");
$obj = pg_fetch_object($result, 0, 'Foo', array("test"));
var_dump($obj);

pg_close();

The above code produces the following output:

DEBUG: Foo(test)
object(Foo)#1 (1) {
["val"]=>
string(3) "foo"
}

Could you post a minimal example that doesn't work?

Thanks for the example, it helped me figure out my dumb mistake. I
copied code from another place using a PHP abstraction library. I was
calling 'db_fetch_object' not 'pg_fetch_object'.

Thanks much,
