[Php-java-bridge-users] Type Casting

[<php...@li...>]

This is not a Bridge problem, more of a question.  I am using the Java 
Bridge to access database servers from PHP.  Type casting is driving me 
nuts.  Does anyone have a preferred method of handling this? 

Should PHP handle everyting as a string and type casting be done in Java? 
I find the types are "difficult" when trying to pass objects.  Should 
everything be handled as primitives?

For example I have a Sql query being called from Java.  PHP passes a 
string and an int to the Java routine and the Java routine runs the SQL 
query and returns a double.  I have tried several different approaches and 
so far it isn't happy.

Any suggestions?
