if you want to fetch your result into a class (by using PDO::FETCH_CLASS) and want the constructor to be executed *before* PDO assings the object properties, you need to use the PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE constant:
<?php
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("your query");
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS|PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, "className", $constructorArguments);
# pass parameters, if required by the query
$stmt->execute($parameters);
foreach ($stmt as $row)
{
// do something with (each of) your object
}
?>
PDOStatement::setFetchMode
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL pdo >= 0.2.0)
PDOStatement::setFetchMode — Set the default fetch mode for this statement
Description
Parameters
-
mode -
The fetch mode must be one of the
PDO::FETCH_*constants. -
colno -
Column number.
-
class -
Class name.
-
constructorArgs -
Constructor arguments.
-
object -
Object.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure.
Examples
Example #1 Setting the fetch mode
The following example demonstrates how PDOStatement::setFetchMode() changes the default fetch mode for a PDOStatement object.
<?php
$stmt = $dbh->query('SELECT name, colour, calories FROM fruit');
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
foreach ($stmt as $row) {
print $row[0] . "\t" . $row[1] . "\t" . $row[2] . "\n";
}The above example will output something similar to:
apple red 150 banana yellow 250 orange orange 300 kiwi brown 75 lemon yellow 25 pear green 150

Something very helpful is knowing how to access namespaces from the function. It took me a minute (and Google) to figure out. The ::class property is going to be your best friend in this case.
<?php
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, Name\Space\Class::class);
?>

Some note on PDO :: FETCH_CLASS | PDO :: FETCH_CLASSTYPE
It took me some time, to realize, that you can not use this fetch-mode in $stm->setFetchMode(), when you want to retrieve objects from the database whereas the type is defined by the first column in the resultset.
You have to define this mode directly in the $stm->fetch() method.
To make it clearer:
$stm = $pdo->query("SELECT * FROM `foo`);
$stm->setFetchMode(FETCH_CLASS | PDO :: FETCH_CLASSTYPE);
$object = $stm->fetch();
Will not return the expected object, whereas
$stm = $pdo->query("SELECT * FROM `foo`");
$object = $stm->fetch(FETCH_CLASS | PDO :: FETCH_CLASSTYPE);
will give you the object of the class, defined in the first column of `foo`.

PDO::FETCH_CLASS may be used only with this method and it takes up to three parameters then:
- int mode
- string className
- array constructorArgs (optional)
<?php
$stmt = $pdo -> query('your query');
$stmt -> setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'yourClass', array(0 => false));
while($row = $stmt -> fetch())
{
// $row is an object of "yourClass" class
}
$stmt -> closeCursor();
?>
Note also that the constructor is called AFTER the data is set on the object.

To fetch the rows into an existing instance of a class, use PDO::FETCH_INTO and pass the object as the second parameter.
The class _must_ have the column names declared as public members, or the script will die. But overloading with __set() and __get() lets it handle any column your query throws at it.
Set the fetch mode right after you call prepare(). It appears you _must_ use execute() - fetch() won't work. A small example, adapted from ext/pdo/tests/pdo_025.phpt:
<?php
class Test
{
protected $cols;
function __set($name, $value) {
$this->cols[$name] = $value;
}
function __get($name) {
return $this->cols[$name];
}
}
$obj = new Test();
$db = PDOTest::factory();
$stmt = $db->prepare("select * from test");
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_INTO, $obj);
$stmt->execute();
foreach ($stmt as $a) {
print_r($a);
}
print_r($obj); // contains the same values as the last iteration above
?>
