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.
