Description:
------------
I am attempting to change from the built in Firebird ibase_ functions to PDO Firebird.

The Firebird version I am using is 2.5. php is 7.3.

Without modifying a query between both drivers, I got a totally different number back.
The query is simple:

select
    INVC_NUMBER,
    invc_header.total_price
from
    invc_header where invc_number = 'invc1';

The number in this case should be 3330.0000 and this works in ibase_.
But the number I get back is using PDO is 3459935.8848. It is obviously quite different. When I try to get another numeric that is 2664.0000 in the database, PDO again returns 3459935.8848

When investigating further I realized that NUMERIC type fields return the wrong number.
If I cast the field as something else it works:

select
    INVC_NUMBER,
    cast(invc_header.total_price as float) TOTAL_PRICE 
from
    invc_header where invc_number = 'invc1';


The data type for the total_price field is:
NUMERIC(15, 4) Nullable

One other weird thing: if I cast it as the same type it also returns the correct number.
cast(invc_header.total_price as numeric(15,4)) TOTAL_PRICE
yields 3330 but

invc_header.total_price TOTAL_PRICE
yields 3460355.6864


I saw this from years ago which seems to be the same issue.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39245467/php-pdo-firebird-select-sum-return-wrong-result
I can confirm the issue exists for me when using the sum on the numeric type.


Thank you!

This bug does not appear to be present in php 7.4.4.
I plan on switching to php 7.4 but it would be nice if both PDO firebird and ibase_* were working for me in 7.3 so I could transition.
I totally understand if this cannot be backported for some reason.

I cannot reproduce the reported behavior with a Firebird 3.0.4
database on Windows using PHP 7.3.  Can you please provide a fully
self-contained minimal reproduce script?
