Description:
------------
I need to check the type of variable before proceeding my next operation, for this i used "gettype".
But it output as NULL, expected to return as String.

NOTE : I have also used var_export to change the type into parsable string.

Please check if it is a bug or i`m doing something wrong.

Thank you
regards
Mohit

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$testArray = array(1,2,'mohit');
$parsableString = var_export($testArray);
echo gettype($parsableString);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string

Actual result:
--------------
NULL
