Bug description:sqlite3 columnType() returns SQLITE3_NULL when not in fetch loop
Description:
------------
The SQLite3Result::columnType() method returns SQLITE3_NULL (5) if not
looping over results. This is done because the data type is unknown. But
this leads to confusion, because SQLITE3_NULL is a legitimate answer in
some cases when inside the loop. It would be clearer if PHP returned NULL
or FALSE instead.
Test script:
---------------
$db = new SQLite3(':memory:');
$db->exec('CREATE TABLE test (whatever INTEGER)');
$db->exec('INSERT INTO test (whatever) VALUES (1)');
$result = $db->query('SELECT * FROM test');
while ($row = $result->fetchArray(SQLITE3_NUM)) {
var_dump($result->columnType(0)); // int(1) [SQLITE3_INTEGER]
}
// Seems returning null or false is more appropriate.
var_dump($result->columnType(0)); // int(5) [SQLITE3_NULL]
$result->finalize();
$db->close();
echo "Done\n";
Expected result:
----------------
int(1)
bool(false)
Done
Actual result:
--------------
int(1)
int(5)
Done
