getting string instead of int - WampServer2

[babyfreak]

Hey all,

Here is my code, but the data I get from the db are string

$mydb = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mybase', 'root', '');

$mydb->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES, false); //DOESN'T WORK

 

I've read it's a question of mysql VS mysqlnd that I don't quite understand. I'm using WampServer2 with mysql 5.1.36

I upgratted to mysql5.1.41 - not working better.

 

(mysql bug identified in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44341

 

If anyone can help...

MySQL always returns strings, so cast the value to an int when you use it.

ok ... I thought there was some news with mysqlnd but I can't find  figure out how it works so ... I suppose I'll finally cast the data.

Thanks
