Unfortunately this does not work or I maybe doing it wrong.  New code:
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT is_password_expired($1::integer,  
$2::varchar);
$stmt->bindValue(1, settype($userId, "integer"), PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindValue(2, $hashPass, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();

I get a blank screen.  I've tried setting the error reporting level to:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

before calling the above code.  Our servers are configured to display  
errors, etc.  The fact that it just goes blank tells me there is a  
bigger issue going on.

Yes, I have tried settype hoping that would somehow make PDO use the  
right one.
