Maybe because I mispelled it. It's PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES.

I agree that documentation of the various attributes and fetch modes can
be improved. If you are serious about improving PDO, I'd suggest you to
take a look at the test suites, both common and driver specific: there
might be much to learn by looking at them (talking about the main
drivers, not the broken firebird one).
