New Comment:
Looks like a documentation problem. However I couldn't
find this in documentation. Also the example output in
mysqli_fetch_field returns 254.
Could you please give me a link to the wrong
documentation?

Description:
------------
The "type" value returned from mysqli_fetch_field() for a VARCHAR field
is 253. The manual says the constant for VARCHAR fields is
MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING which has a value of 254. So, there's no way to
determine column types via constants for VARCHAR's.
Reproduce code:
---------------
mysqli_query($db->connection,
'CREATE TABLE bar (Cf VARCHAR(5))');
$r = mysqli_query($db->connection,
'SELECT Cf FROM bar');
$tmp = mysqli_fetch_field($r);
echo "type found = $tmp->type\n";
echo 'MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING = ' . MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING . "\n";
mysqli_query($db->connection,
'DROP TABLE bar');
Expected result:
----------------
type found = 254
MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING = 254
Actual result:
--------------
type found = 253
MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING = 254
