Hi: As Lukas has mentioned elsewhere, MDB does some of the typing you're interested in. I believe DB_DataOjbect does similar things. Beside the array data type, I don't see much value in strongly typing the output because PHP isn't a strongly typed language. Strings get converted to numbers as needed, etc. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
