How to get field Type from View I have a view that takes fields and combines them or compares them and then gives me results in a new field (views conditional, global text etc..) but I need the TYPE of data that is returned. How can I figure this out? I do not have Drush on my current setup or we'd be good to go... I looked in the DOM and see nothing special about the field for example...
Use Php views and in it  use gettype, I think you can acheive it by Php views ( also you can achieve it with hook_views_pre_render) and return data tye with gettype.

gettype — Get the type of a variable Description
string gettype (mixed $var )
Returns the type of the PHP variable var.
