VARIANT_GET_TYPE(3) 1 VARIANT_GET_TYPE(3)
variant_get_type - Returns the type of a variant object
SYNOPSIS
int variant_get_type (variant $variant)
DESCRIPTION
Returns the type of a variant object.
PARAMETERS
o $variant
- The variant object.
RETURN VALUES
This function returns an integer value that indicates the type of $variant, which can be an instance of "COM", "DOTNET" or "VARIANT"
classes. The return value can be compared to one of the VT_XXX constants.
The return value for COM and DOTNET objects will usually be VT_DISPATCH; the only reason this function works for those classes is because
COM and DOTNET are descendants of VARIANT.
In PHP versions prior to 5, you could obtain this information from instances of the VARIANT class ONLY, by reading a fake $type property.
See the "VARIANT" class for more information on this.
