PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE - unexpected result - php

Question

I'am at loss here. Not sure why I'm getting "stdClass". Shouldn't I be getting name from 1st column?
$sql = "SELECT cn, iso2, iso3, fid, sort FROM ct";
$stmt = $dbh->query($sql);
$result = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE );
var_dump($result);
//expected - first: cn.col holds country names
object(Brazil)[3]
public 'iso2' => string 'BR' (length=2)
public 'iso3' => string 'BRA' (length=3)
public 'fid' => string '1' (length=1)
public 'sort' => string '0' (length=1)
//received
object(stdClass)[3]
public 'iso2' => string 'BR' (length=2)
public 'iso3' => string 'BRA' (length=3)
public 'fid' => string '1' (length=1)
public 'sort' => string '0' (length=1)var_dump

The issue is most likely that the class is not defined (or in scope). I did some testing using local data.
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", 'user', 'pass');
$conn->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING );
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT name,email FROM `test_table`");
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE );
print_r($result) // returns stdClass Object ( [email] => 'test#test.com' )
By adding this above the PDO code
Class levi{
}
I was able to get it to return:
levi Object ( [email] => 'test#test.com')
