variable type and $this->db->count_all_results(); - El Forum - 07-18-2008

Maybe its just my C background, but shouldn't the function

Code:
$this->db->count_all_results();

return an integer, not a string? I currently typecast it, but this seems like something that should be done within the db class. Was there a reason for it to return a string?

I use this feature, mostly, to display the results of a search but if I use it in a checking how many results and I need it as a Integer I use the php function intval();

Does this help?
