[wp-hackers] $wpdb->get_var unable to return negative numbers...

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

get_var() can return negitive numbers.

For example:
var_dump( $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT -1 as minus" ) );

or if wanted as an integer rather than a string:
var_dump( (int)$wpdb->get_var( "SELECT -1 as minus" ) );

The SQL query can be returning a field from a database of course, this is
just for simulating the response from MySQL of a negative number.
