Good afternoon. I found this code in a program I'm renovating and think this is very redundant. Also, it does slow queries down while doing all of the conversions. prod_id in the mysql database is declared an integer. <SQL above> where prod_id = '" . (int)$prod_id . "' and <SQL below> Question: since $prod_is is already an integer, why would someone convert it into an integer, then convert it into a string to later have mysql convert it back into an integer?? Could someone shed some light on the intent behind this weird code??
