Description:
------------
Postgresql booleans are internally stored as either 'f' or 't' (False or True).
On retrieval using pg_fetch_object, they are simply retrieved as PHP strings, rather than either 0 or 1, or even better, false or true.
This causes that postgresql.
I am not sure, but I think in the data returned by the server, there is metadata explaining the field types and so they could be automatically converted to PHP bools.
This is from a bugreport and related forum topic that was made for the CodeIgniter framework.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$conn_string = "host=testserver dbname=testdb user=foo password=bar";
$dbconn = pg_connect($conn_string);
pg_query('CREATE TABLE test(test boolean)');
pg_query('INSERT INTO test(test) VALUES(TRUE)');
$res = pg_query('SELECT * FROM test');
$obj = pg_fetch_object($res);
echo "\n".$obj->test."\n";
pg_query('DROP TABLE test');
?>


Expected result:
----------------
1

Actual result:
--------------
