How does the mysql_fetch_object function work in PHP and what is its functionality within a query result?

The mysql_fetch_object function in PHP is used to fetch a single row from a query result as an object. It returns the current row of a result set as an object where the attributes of the object represent the field names. This function is useful when you want to access the query result as an object rather than an array. 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_name");
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);

// Accessing fields of the row as object properties
echo $row->column_name1;
echo $row->column_name2;
