Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] Type Casting

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

I think found what was causing my confusion.  On the SQL Server the field 
that I thought was a double is actually defined as a Money type.  If I 
understand it correctly, the Money type is a long integer that has to be 
scaled based on the definition.

Thanks for your reply.  I suspected that PHP only really used strings, but 
wasn't sure.  Also, I had forgotten about the java_values command.  I have 
used it before, but it has been some time.

Thanks Jost.

Hi,

can you please give an example which demonstrates the problem?

That's the only type that PHP supports, anyway. :)

The bridge will return a proxy for the result, which can be evaluated as 
usual:

  either 
    echo (int)(string)$sqlResult; 
  or
    echo java_values($sqlResult);

Note that the first line above might be wrong on 32 bit machines, where 
PHP int values have a limited range. Use (double)(string)$sqlResult 
instead.
