Description:
------------
Hi Sir,

I want to know that if i am calling a field using object having a dot[.] in it. leads to problem for me.

Test script:
---------------
field name in database is "pa.ab".

If we fetch data from database using mysql_fetch_object like 

"$database->pa.ab" It will read it as "$database->pa". 

First of all i want to know is this an bug, error or my mistake on it.

and if it an issue to be handle differently then how to handle such cases.

Expected result:
----------------
$database->pa.ab will be read and return the same value as in database

Actual result:
--------------
$database->pa will read by programm and nothing is returned.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This isn't a bug. PHP identifiers can't have dots in them, since that's the concatenation operator.

You probably want to do $database->{"pa.ab"}
