Suggestion:

Add new data retrieval functions (or extend mssql_fetch_array and mssql_fetch_row) to return each column in a type that matches the underlying database column type instead of the always as type string.  Also, return columns that are NULL as PHP's null type (instead of boolean/false).

Two questions - is this the proper place to submit suggestions, and if so should this also be submitted to the general 'database functions' category (I know PHP's ODBC functions exhibit the same behavior)?

Update to php4.0.6, and you will find what you are asking for.

The setting mssql.compatability_mode in php.ini can be used to specify how data are returned.

mssql.compatability_mode = Off Returns data as php types

mssql.compatability_mode = On Returns all data ass strings.

I'm looking for a solution to the same problem but under ODBC. I'm using 4.3.1 but odbc_result keeps returning NULL field values as boolean(false).
Any directions will be appreciated.
