For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The return value is based on what libsqlite returns in this case.

It seems more appropriate for it to return FALSE. Test script: --------------- $db = new SQLite3(':memory:'); $db->exec('CREATE TABLE test (whatever INTEGER)'); $db->exec('INSERT INTO test (whatever) VALUES (1)'); $result = $db->query('SELECT * FROM test'); while ($row = $result->fetchArray(SQLITE3_NUM)) { var_dump($result->columnType(0)); // int(1) [SQLITE3_INTEGER] // Seems returning false is more appropriate. var_dump($result->columnType(3)); // int(5) [SQLITE3_NULL] } $result->finalize(); $db->close(); echo "Done\n"; Expected result: ---------------- int(1) bool(false) Done Actual result: -------------- int(1) int(5) Done ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53464&edit=1
