note 68886 added to function.mysql-field-type

Hello, Unfortunately, php (or MySQL) reports TINYTEXT, TEXT and LONGTEXT fields as blob, and not as string, which is quite annoying when it is about really detecting the type of your data, and figure what to do with it. I hoped that upgrading from MySQL 4.1 to 5.0 would help. It doesn't. Any way to have the MySQL type, and not the php type ? ---- Server IP: 217.174.203.10 Probable Submitter: 87.90.177.248 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-field-type.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/68886 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68886/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68886/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68886/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68886/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68886/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68886/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68886 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/68886 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
