user_type; // Print the user type echo "User type: $user_type"; ?>In both examples, the get_user_type function is used to retrieve the user type information, but the source of the data is different (database vs API). The package library that this function belongs to is likely a larger user management package that includes functions for authentication, authorization, and other related tasks.
