I understand gettype, but..

I am not sure what this means. (I forget how to post code)

string gettype ( mixed $var )

This is from the PHP document.

What that means is that gettype takes a variable of mixed/multiple type(s) (string, int, array, etc.) and returns a string with the type of the variable.
