Hi, The gettype() documentation warns people that the returned string is "subject to change". Why is there a function that's subject to change in the API?
And just to clarify: I agree is_*() is better if we test for a certain type (as the note says). However, the use scenario for gettype() is when we do not test for a certain type (as in, we test for any type), which is less optimal when executed as 5-6 is_*() calls. Regards, Stan Vassilev
