TYPO3 Core

Hi,

I'd like to add two new methods to t3lib_div.
Due to some planned changes I need them and think they are useful in global scope.

t3lib_div::getType($input) returns type-information about a variable because it's not very smooth to do it each required case inline somewhere ...

t3lib_div::getObjectEnv($input) returns the enviroment of an object. It uses all available, concerning functions of PHP to build an array with information about the object.

Furthermore each method is integrated in a new section.

/*************************
 *
 * TYPE FUNCTIONS
 
     ******************/

/**
 * Returns the type-information for $input.
 *
 * @param    mixed        input to test for type
 * @return    string        type of input as string
     */
    public static function getType ($input) {    
        $type = 'string';
        if (is_array($input)) $type = 'array';
        elseif (is_object($input)) $type = 'object';
        elseif (is_resource($input)) $type = 'resource';
        elseif (is_int($input)) $type = 'int';
        elseif (is_float($input)) $type = 'float';
        elseif (is_bool($input)) $type = 'bool';
        return $type;
    }

/*************************
 *
 * OBJECT-FUNCTIONS
 
     ******************/

/**
 * Returns an Array with Information about an Object.
 * For Details look at the Function below and the used PHP-Functions in the PHP-Manual.
 *
 * @param    mixed    Should be of Type Object but can be of any Type.
 * @return    array    Object-Information or empty if $input is no Object
     */
    public static function getObjectEnv($input) {
        $obj = array();
        if (is_object($input)) {
            $class = get_class($input);
            $obj = array(
                'Type'                        => 'object',
                'Classname'                    => $class,
                'Parent Class'                => get_parent_class($class),
                'Methods'                    => get_class_methods($class),
                'Class Variables'            => get_class_vars($class),
                'Object Variables'            => get_object_vars($input),
                'Implemented Interfaces'    => class_implements($class)
            );
        }
        return $obj;
    }
