Note Submitter: son9ne at gmail dot com ---- This is my work around for the gettype warning. Hope some find it useful. <?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) { switch ($var) { case is_null($var): $type='NULL'; break; case is_bool($var): $type='boolean'; break; case is_float($var): $type='double'; // $type='float'; break; case is_int($var): $type='integer'; break; case is_string($var): $type='string'; break; case is_array($var): $type='array'; break; case is_object($var): $type='object'; break; case is_resource($var): $type='resource'; break; default: $type='unknown type'; break; } return $type; } ?>
