Values of
bitdata type are returned as binary strings (e.g. "\0" or "\x1F") withlibmysqland as decimal strings (e.g. "0" or "31") withmysqlnd. If you want the code to be compatible with both libraries then always return bit fields as numbers from MySQL with a query like this:SELECT bit + 0 FROM table.
