Operating system: Windows 2000
PHP version: 4.0.4pl1
PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related
Bug description: Return column data with correct type
Suggestion:
Add new data retrieval functions (or extend mssql_fetch_array and mssql_fetch_row) to return each
column in a type that matches the underlying database column type instead of the always as type
string. Also, return columns that are NULL as PHP's null type (instead of boolean/false).
Two questions - is this the proper place to submit suggestions, and if so should this also be
submitted to the general 'database functions' category (I know PHP's ODBC functions
exhibit the same behavior)?
