Using Codeigniter, any numeric data returned from my MySQL database is returned as strings. How can I configure the database/PHP/Codeigniter to return numbers as numbers?
This isn’t just Codeigniter behaviour, it’s the behaviour of PHP generally.
If you look at any of the result functions such as
mysql_result()ormysql_fetch_array()to name a couple, they return string or an array of strings respectively.The Codeigniter MySQL drivers use these functions to return their results.
