variant class constructor

Description

variant::__construct(mixed $value = null, int $type = VT_EMPTY, int $codepage = CP_ACP)

Constructs a new variant object.

value

Initial value. If omitted, or set to null an VT_EMPTY object is created.

type

Specifies the content type of the variant object. Possible values are one of the VT_* com.constants.

PHP can detect parameters passed by reference automatically; they do not even need to be passed as variant objects.

Consult the MSDN library for additional information on the VARIANT type.

codepage

Specifies the codepage that is used to convert strings to unicode. See the parameter of the same name in the class.com class for more information.
