Best way to finding the type of Php::Value

[ond1]

Hi,

Just need some guidance on the best way to find the type of a Php::Value please.

Here is a snippet of old code in used with zend:

zval *zvalue =....;
switch (Z_TYPE_P(zvalue)) {
case IS_BOOL:
.....
break;
case IS_LONG:
......
break;
case IS_STRING:
.....
break;
case IS_NULL:
......
break;
case IS_DOUBLE:
....

To do the equivalent in In PHP-CPP I have started by using Php:Type. But I am not sure if this is the best approach.
Php::Value PHP_SaxonProcessor::createAtomicValue(Php::Parameters &params)
{

Php::Type _type = ((Php::Value)params[0]).type();
......

switch (_type) {
        case Type::False:
    case Type::True:
            xdmValue = proc->makeBooleanValue((bool)param[0]);
        	php_atomicValue = new PHP_XdmAtomicValue(xdmValue);
	return Php::Object("Saxon\\XdmAtomicValue", php_atomicValue);
        case Type::Numeric:
	 xdmValue = proc->makeIntegerValue((int)param[0]);
        	php_atomicValue = new PHP_XdmAtomicValue(xdmValue);
	return Php::Object("Saxon\\XdmAtomicValue", php_atomicValue);
        case Type::String:

...

}
