a. MySQL returns only strings with the C api call b. PHP is typeless c. it has been ages like this d. In order to 'fix' this, we need to call atleast 4 new api calls, thus slowing down queries a LOT This change is not going to happen.

No, you are not right. It's not important for me, as I found a way to make my scripts work fine even with this error. But I still think that php development team should know that their function doesn't work the way it has to. If function has to return an array with integer value, but returns an array with string value - it's a bug. That's why I wrote here.

Even if table has an integer field, the result I got from functions listed above will list this value as string. php.ini magic_quotes_runtime = Off simple example. imagine that we "create table tripreport (ID tinyint)" then we "insert into MYTABLE (ID) values (1)" then $r="select * from MYTABLE where ID=1" then $f=mysql_fetch_assoc($r); then $id=$f["ID"]; then echo gettype($id) will print "string". is it an internal MySQL bug of PHP makes a mistake? take care, Val ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16383&edit=1
