Bug #9855 Updated: Return column data with correct type

ID: 9855 Updated by: fmk Reported By: ron.baldwin@sourceprose.com Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: MSSQL related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: Update to php4.0.6, and you will find what you are asking for. The setting mssql.compatability_mode in php.ini can be used to specify how data are returned. mssql.compatability_mode = Off Returns data as php types mssql.compatability_mode = On Returns all data ass strings. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-20 00:04:07] ron.baldwin@sourceprose.com 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)? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
