I've just had half an hour flicking through docs and source and figured it would be easier to ask:
I'm working with JSON in a project at the moment and everything is going fine. At some point I realised a lot of the expected integer values were actually strings (not a problem as it wasn't hard to do some frontend casting where needed.) And at that point, I realised that functions like mysql_fetch* return strings and, therefore, DB functions in CakePHP. I'm pretty sure the CakePHP doesn't want the overhead of casting a result set for one DB type on each read operation so I'm curious to know if: 1) there are other data sources that return accurate types on read 2) there's an existing behavior/helper that does casting that I can go and extend 3) I'm smoking crack and I've gone and over configured something and I've just written 3 paragraphs of guff 4) there's a really obvious piece of config that I've missed -- Connrs -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
