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?
