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_* 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.
