gettype
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
gettype — Get the type of a variable
Описание
Returns the type of the PHP variable var .
Внимание
Never use gettype() to test for a certain type, since the returned string may be subject to change in a future version. In addition, it is slow too, as it involves string comparison.
Instead, use the is_* functions.

Same as for "boolean" below, happens with integers. gettype() return "integer" yet proper type hint is "int".
If your project is PHP8+ then you should consider using get_debug_type() instead which seems to return proper types that match used for type hints.
Be careful comparing ReflectionParameter::getType() and gettype() as they will not return the same results for a given type.
string - string // OK
int - integer // Type mismatch
bool - boolean // Type mismatch
array - array // OK
Since ReflectionParameter::getType() and gettype() do not return the same type name, you can leverage the strpos() function.
use DateTime;
use ReflectionClass;
$myVar = 45;
# get the type of your variable
$varType = gettype($myVar);
$cls = new ReflectionClass(DateTime::class);
$mth = $cls->getMethod('setDate');
$params = $mth->getParameters();
foreach($params as $param) {
$paramTypes = $param instanceof ReflectionUnionType
? $param->getTypes()
: [$param];
foreach($paramTypes as $paramType) {
if (strpos($paramType, $varType) >= 0) {
echo "Parameter '". $paramType->getName() ."' has type '". $paramType->getType() ."' which matches the variable's type of '$varType'.\n";
}
}
}
