Redbean returning boolean columns as string

[noorbakerally]

I am having a problem using Redbean. I have a table photos having the photos definition:

+----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field          | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id             | int(11)     | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| account_number | varchar(20) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| photo          | text        | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
| isDefault      | tinyint(1)  | YES  |     | 0       |                |
+----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

I have a small PHP script:

<?php
        require 'rbconnect.php';
        $photos = R::findOne('photos');
        var_dump($photos);
        $photos->id = intval($photos->id);
        $photos->isDefault = intval($photos->isDefault);
        echo json_encode($photos);
?>

First part of returned result var_dump($photos):

object(RedBeanPHP\OODBBean)#17 (11) {
  ["properties":protected]=>
  array(4) {
    ["id"]=>
    string(1) "1"
    ["account_number"]=>
    string(10) "1234567890"
    ["photo"]=>
    string(17) "sample_photo_data"
    ["isDefault"]=>
    string(1) "0"
  }
  ["__info":protected]=>
  array(8) {
    ["type"]=>
    string(6) "photos"
    ["sys.id"]=>
    string(2) "id"
    ["sys.orig"]=>
    array(4) {
      ["id"]=>
      string(1) "1"
      ["account_number"]=>
      string(10) "1234567890"
      ["photo"]=>
      string(17) "sample_photo_data"
      ["isDefault"]=>
      string(1) "0"
    }
    ["tainted"]=>
    bool(false)
    ["changed"]=>
    bool(false)
    ["changelist"]=>
    array(0) {
    }
    ["model"]=>
    NULL
    ["data.bundle"]=>
    array(0) {
    }
  }
  ["beanHelper":protected]=>
  object(RedBeanPHP\BeanHelper\SimpleFacadeBeanHelper)#13 (0) {
  }
  ["fetchType":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["withSql":protected]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["withParams":protected]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["aliasName":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["via":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["noLoad":protected]=>
  bool(false)
  ["all":protected]=>
  bool(false)
  ["castProperty":protected]=>
  NULL
}

Second part of the returned json is:
{"id":1,"account_number":"1234567890","photo":"sample_photo_data","isDefault":"0","is_default":0}

I am having two ambiguities:

1. If I do not do a casting both id and isDefault returned type is String, are not they supposed to be of type int?
2. Casting is working for id but not for isDefault. When casting isDefault, it is instead recreating another column is_default.

Sorry for the late reply. Have you tried:

R::getDatabaseAdapter()->getDatabase()->stringifyFetches( FALSE );
