note 98312 added to function.gettype

The code below needs to be updated to work properly. I found that this way seems to work much better. <?php /** * Returns the type of the passed var * - PHP warns against using gettype(), this is my workaround * * @param mixed $var * @return string */ public function fetchType($var) { if (is_bool($var)) $type='boolean'; else if (is_int($var)) $type='integer'; else if (is_float($var)) $type='float'; else if (is_string($var)) $type='string'; else if (is_array($var)) $type='array'; else if (is_object($var)) $type='object'; else if (is_resource($var)) $type='resource'; else if (is_null($var)) $type='NULL'; else $type='unknown type'; return $type; } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 63.103.168.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gettype.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98312 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98312/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98312/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98312/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98312/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98312/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98312/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98312 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98312 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
