This would work only if the fields are boolean. Unfortunately, bit fields
are a poor choice to store boolean values, and you don't get any real
benefit from them.
You will have to force PHP to convert your values into a number, such as
$a = $a|0 or $a = number_format( $a )
or use the workaround mentioned in your original email.
You should also use proper bit string constant syntax, prefacing each value
with "B":
insert into table (a,b,c) values (B'$a',B'$b',B'$c')
