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.

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)?
