New Feature For Consideration - Treating "true" and "false" (string values) as booleans when mapping to boolean columns

[T T]

Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks for the great product. Being a ORM/Hiberante
addict I am so glad there is a similar product in PHP with fantastic
support.

I am not sure whether or not it is possible to implement but can you
please consider adding the following feature: treating "true" and
"false" string literals as corresponding boolean equivalents.

For example, at the moment the below code would persist the 'Entity'
with the false value in the column mapped to the
'somePropertyMappingToBooleanColumn' property.:

1. $entity = new Entity();

2. $entity->id = 10;

//--will persist the false value into the column (note the quotes
around "true")
3. $entity->somePropertyMappingToBooleanColumn = "true";

4. $orm->save($entity);

Since PHP is not a strong type language in my opinion this feature
would be very useful (no need to convert from "true"/"false" string
literals into the boolean equivalents). Once again, personally I have
a very solid good use case where this feature would be very useful
(unless there are some architectural restrictions I am unaware of)

In any case keep up the great work guys!

Cheers,

Roman

I can't think about any problems with supporting that.
Anyone else would benefit from that as well?
