VARIANT::__construct — VARIANT class constructor

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_XXX Predefined 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 COM class for more information.
