What are some alternatives to using mysql_fetch_object() for fetching data in PHP?

Using mysqli_fetch_object() instead of mysql_fetch_object() is recommended as the latter is deprecated in newer versions of PHP. mysqli_fetch_object() is a part of the improved MySQLi extension in PHP, which provides better security and performance. To fetch data using mysqli_fetch_object(), you need to establish a connection to the database using mysqli_connect() and execute a query using mysqli_query().

// Establish connection to the database
$connection = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name");

// Execute query
$query = "SELECT * FROM table_name";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Fetch data as an object
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_object($result)) {
    // Process data here
}

// Close connection
mysqli_close($connection);
