i am kinda stuck on what exact method to use ... it involves a plug-in like
related class in which i need to determine if the object is actually that
type of object ...

i had been thinking is_scalar($obj) would be ok but is there a better way to
compare?

what would be a better way to accomplish this would be to use something that
can actually compare (as example):

$myObj = new MyObject();
if (is_object($myObj, gettype($myObj))) {
 ...
}

this wont get an exact type (should return "object") ... but basically i
want to know if you can do something like this ficticious method to
determine object equality.  (coming from java where everything is an object
to begin with).
