(PHP 5, PHP 7) Returns the type of a variant object int variant_get_type ( variant $variant ) Returns the type of a variant object. Parameters: variant The variant object. Returns: 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

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Returns the integer portion of a variant mixed variant_fix ( mixed $variant ) Gets the integer portion of a variant. Parameters: variant The variant. Returns: If variant is negative, then the first negative integer greater than or equal to the variant is returned, otherwise returns the integer portion of the value of variant.

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Performs a bitwise equivalence on two variants mixed variant_eqv ( mixed $left, mixed $right ) Performs a bitwise equivalence on two variants. Parameters: left The left operand. right The right operand. Returns: If each bit in left is equal to the corresponding bit in right then TRUE is returned,

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Returns the result from dividing two variants mixed variant_div ( mixed $left, mixed $right ) Divides left by right and returns the result. Parameters: left The left operand. right The right operand. Returns: Variant Division Rules If Then Both expressions are of the string, date, character, boole

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Converts a variant date/time value to Unix timestamp int variant_date_to_timestamp ( variant $variant ) Converts variant from a VT_DATE (or similar) value into a Unix timestamp. This allows easier interopability between the Unix-ish parts of PHP and COM. Parameters: variant The variant. Returns: Returns a unix timestamp.

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Returns a variant date representation of a Unix timestamp variant variant_date_from_timestamp ( int $timestamp ) Converts timestamp from a unix timestamp value into a variant of type VT_DATE. This allows easier interopability between the unix-ish parts of PHP and COM. Parameters: timestamp A unix timestamp. Returns: Returns a VT_DA

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Compares two variants int variant_cmp ( mixed $left, mixed $right [, int $lcid [, int $flags ]] ) Compares left with right. This function will only compare scalar values, not arrays or variant records. Parameters: left The left operand. right The right operand. lcid A valid Locale Ide

(PHP 5, PHP 7) concatenates two variant values together and returns the result mixed variant_cat ( mixed $left, mixed $right ) Concatenates left with right and returns the result. This function is notionally equivalent to $left . $right. Parameters: left The left operand. right The right operand. Returns: Ret

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Convert a variant into a new variant object of another type variant variant_cast ( variant $variant, int $type ) This function makes a copy of variant and then performs a variant cast operation to force the copy to have the type given by type. This function wraps VariantChangeType() in the COM library; consult MSDN for more information. Parameters: variant

(PHP 5, PHP 7) Performs a bitwise AND operation between two variants mixed variant_and ( mixed $left, mixed $right ) Performs a bitwise AND operation. Note that this is slightly different from a regular AND operation. Parameters: left The left operand. right The right operand. Returns: Variant AND Rules If left
