Even if table has an integer field, the result I got from functions listed above will list this value as string. php.ini magic_quotes_runtime = Off simple example. imagine that we "create table tripreport (ID tinyint)" then we "insert into MYTABLE (ID) values (1)" then $r="select * from MYTABLE where ID=1" then $f=mysql_fetch_assoc($r); then $id=$f["ID"]; then echo gettype($id) will print "string". is it an internal MySQL bug of PHP makes a mistake? take care, Val ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16383&edit=1
