Bug description: returning fields with appropriate type from MySQL
As a recent starter with PHP and MySQL, I have been caught out for too long
not realising that all fields returned using mysql_fetch_row (and
presumably others) are returned as strings. It would be really useful if
there were a variant mysql call which returned the field with an
appropriate type. Is the problem that PHP doesn't have enough types? Well,
a fairly good job could be done on it anyhow.
