Yeah well, its a bug that pdo/pdo_mysql have for at least 3 years now.
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44341 was set to Bogus claiming it was
not a PDO core bug.
So you're trying to tell me its irrelevant that PHP's next generation
database interface cant event transport an int(11) from database to a
variable without converting it to a string?
As mysql_fetch_assoc() handles integers correctly by not converting them
to a string, it really shouldnt be that hard for pdo_mysql to do the
same.

The issue actually is that PDO by default uses emulation of prepared
statements. Only native prepared statements use the binary protocol
which keeps the proper types.

Description:
------------
pdo_mysql_stmt_get_col() returns a string instead of an integer obtained
from the database. This happens with the pdo_mysql extension included in
the PHP download section as well as on my Ubuntu box.
Looking at mysql_statement.c from the pdo_mysql source shows, that it
returns a ZVAL reference instead of a string when compiled with mysqlnd,
so if i may ask: why isnt it the default to compile with mysqlnd?
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$mysql = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'root', '');
$mysql->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES, false);
var_dump($mysql->query('SELECT 42')->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(42)
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(2) "42"
}
