Description:
------------
mysqli do not supports float type neither in results nor in params. for result it returns NULL instead of float, for params there is no type letter for float type...

Reproduce code:
---------------
$db = new mysqli(...);
$st = $db->prepare("SELECT 1.23 AS test");
$st->execute();
$st->store_result();
var_dump($st->num_rows);
$st->bind_result($x);
$st->fetch();
$st->free_result();
$st->close();
var_dump($x);


Expected result:
----------------
int(1)
float(1.23)

Actual result:
--------------
int(1)
NULL

Can't reproduce

Connecting to MySQL 4.1 returns
int(1)
float(1.23)

Connectiong to MySQL 5.0 returns
int(1)
string(4) "1.23"

Which MySQL client library and server do you use?
 [2005-05-11 10:52 UTC] dan at yes dot lt 
PHP Version 5.0.5-dev
MySQLi Client API version  4.1.7
MySQL Server version: 5.0.4-beta
 [2005-05-12 21:33 UTC] andrey@php.net 
Cannot reproduce with PHP 5.1-dev, libmysql 4.1.12 and MySQL 5.0.6-beta.

Can you try upgrading your client library? Thanks!

I've tried to update libmysql to 4.1.11 and to 5.0.4-beta - this wont help... Also - where can I get the newest php_mysqli.dll ? The latest builds are going without it - may be this is a problem ?
 [2005-05-16 08:52 UTC] dan at yes dot lt 
with new php_mysqli.dll script crashes near the "$st->fetch()" with any query (SELECT 1 ... , SELECT 1.23 ... , or SELECT 'x' ...).

libmysql 5.0.4-beta

php_musqli.dll when compiled 4.1.7 headers afaik - therefore 4.1.7 libmysql.dll has to be used (afaik).
 [2005-05-19 14:53 UTC] dan at yes dot lt 
with libmysql.dll v4.1.7 crashes only with float
"SELECT 1.23 ..."
 [2005-05-20 11:44 UTC] georg@php.net 
When using MySQL 5 you have to also recompile php with MySQL 5 headers and libraries . As long MySQL 5 is beta we will not provide binaries which support MySQL 5.0
