Hi there,

could anyone tell me what is the reasoning behind the constraints
on the values returned by php_mysql_get_field_name()? I. e.:

...
1737                            case FIELD_TYPE_SHORT:
1738                            case FIELD_TYPE_LONG:
1739                            case FIELD_TYPE_LONGLONG:
1740                            case FIELD_TYPE_INT24:
1741                                    return "int";
1742                                    break;
1743                            case FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT:
1744                            case FIELD_TYPE_DOUBLE:
1745                            case FIELD_TYPE_DECIMAL:
1746                                    return "real";
1747                                    break;
...

why doesn't it return "short", "longlong", "double" etc. i. e. the
real value?

This has been so since php_mysql.c v1.1 (2yrs, Zeev), so there must be 
a good reason behind this, but I just see it. anyone care to enlighten
me?

TIA
