A few days ago, I asked a question about a bug I found in Laravel.
To fix it, I installed php5-mysqlnd on my server.
Today, I upgraded my application to the latest php 7.1.*. Everything works correctly, except the bug is back again, i.e. integers in the database are returned as strings, which fails my strict comparison.
I tried to find a package for mysqlnd for php 7.1 but there are none (yet?). But mysqlnd seems enabled though...
phpinfo()
PHP Version => 7.1.3-2+0~20170315222009.20+jessie~1.gbpc7e7dd
System => Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) x86_64
mysqlnd
mysqlnd => enabled
Version => mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev - 20150407 - $Id: b396954eeb2d1d9ed7902b8bae237b287f21ad9e $
pdo_mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL => enabled
Client API version => mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev - 20150407 - $Id: b396954eeb2d1d9ed7902b8bae237b287f21ad9e $
Output on localhost:
"id" => 5
Output on server:
"id" => "5"
1/ Is there something else I should look?
2/ In general, should I refactor my code to accept strings from the db instead of expecting ints?
Thank you.
Sigh, I'm dumb! At least I learned something today.
The phpinfo() came from the php version of the console, not Apache. Turns out php7.1 and mysqlnd was not loaded in Apache.
Everything is fine now...
