Bug->Req #72583 [Opn]: All data are fetched as strings

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72583&edit=1 ID: 72583 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: dorin dot marcoci at gmail dot com Summary: All data are fetched as strings Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PDO Firebird PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Changing this to be a FR; Big side note here, every database driver seems to do this very differently and there is not much consistency across the board, even in PDO where I believe we had an option or similar to do so (or maybe it was just MySQL, I can't remember for certain). But all in all, it would be nice to do this for all database drivers, or at least those that are in the core now with the increased typeness in PHP.

Numeric columns (integers, floats) should be returned as native values. In MySQL ND package this works as expected. Please fix this for Firebird too. Thanks! Expected result: ---------------- Correct types Actual result: -------------- Incorrect types ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72583&edit=1
