As of PHP 8.1 it will return them as integers. Note: A ZEROFILL integer is where an integer will be left padded with 0's until it reaches a certain length. Since PHP doesn't support leading zero's in an integer they're removed. 8.0.2 string(10) "0742130050" 8.1.0-dev int(742130050) PDO should not lose data. The solution I suggest is Test script: --------------- CREATE TABLE test ( postcode INT(4) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL NULL ); INSERT INTO test (postcode) VALUES ('0800'); SELECT * FROM test; MariaDB [schools]> SELECT * FROM test; +----------+ | postcode | +----------+ | 0800 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.000 sec) $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM test;'); $stmt->execute(); $result = $stmt->fetchObject(); var_dump($result->postcode); Expected result: ---------------- string(4) "0800" Actual result: -------------- int(800) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80808&edit=1
