[PHP] mixed type

2002-03-12 Thread max

While looking thru php funcions (mixed ora_getcolumn ( int cursor, mixed
column) in partucular)
I came across type MIXED. What does that mean? There is no such type
mentioned in the php
docs under TYPES section.

thanks.

max.

It simply means that more than one type is valid at that point. In the
above example, it means that ora_getcolumn() can return variables of
different types. For instance, on failure, it returns FALSE (Boolean); 
on success, it returns a string or NULL.


Hope this helps,

Torben
