Change for MySQL NULL columns

I don't remember if this was discussed before or not, but I just discovered that a select which may potentially have NULL results in some rows will not be fully returned by mysql_fetch_array(). NULL results just disappear. I think they should be returned as PHP's NULL values. We'd like to make a change where the NULL values would be returned as part of the array. However, this may potentially break some scripts which depend on not having NULL values in the returned arrays. But since the same script can receive "" (empty) value from the database and the difference between NULL and "" is not that great, we feel that the consequences will be minimal. Unless we receive lots of strenuous objections to this, we'll implement the change before PHP 4 release. -Andrei * We reason deeply, when we forcibly feel. *
