Re: [PHP] Type of a variable in PHP

[Norah Jones]

Try this

function get_type($var)
{
    if(is_object($var))
        return get_class($var);
    if(is_null($var))
        return 'null';
    if(is_string($var))
        return 'string';
    if(is_array($var))
        return 'array';
    if(is_int($var))
        return 'integer';
    if(is_bool($var))
        return 'boolean';
    if(is_float($var))
        return 'float';
    if(is_resource($var))
        return 'resource';
    //throw new NotImplementedException();
    return 'unknown';
}
