    Creates a class that acts as a string wrapper similar to Java and C#.

    Background



    Php doesn't do types so I created a class to act as a wrapper to provide a faux type for strings

    The Code



    The code is designed so that you can create text variables which have there own methods that you can apply on them in a fashion similar to Java or C#.

    PHP:
    <?php
        
    class Text
    {
        private 
    $text;

        public function 
    __construct($val null)
        {
            if(
    $val != "" || $val != null)
            {
                
    $this->text $val;
            }
            else
            {
                
    $this->text "";
            }
        }

        public function 
    equals($val)
        {
           return ((
    $this->text == $val) ? true false);
        }

        public function 
    value()
        {
            return 
    $this->text;
        }

        public function 
    clear()
        {
            
    $this->text "";
        }

        public function 
    assign($val)
        {
            
    $this->text $val;
        }

        public function 
    length()
        {
            
    $rtn strlen($this->text);
            return 
    $rtn;
        }

        public function 
    upperCase($type "all")
        {
            
    $type strtolower($type);

            switch(
    $type)
            {
                case 
    "first":
                    
    $this->text ucfirst($this->text);
                break;

                case 
    "words":
                    
    $this->text ucwords($this->text);
                break;

                case 
    "all":
                    
    $this->text strtoupper($this->text);
                break;

                default:
                    
    $this->text strtoupper($this->text);
                break;
            } 
        }

        public function 
    lowerCase($type "all")
        {
            
    $type strtolower($type);

            switch(
    $type)
            {
                case 
    "first":
                    
    $this->text lcfirst($this->text);
                break;

                case 
    "all":
                    
    $this->text strtolower($this->text);
                break;

                default:

    $this->text implode($sep$tmp);
            }
            else if(
    $words == FALSE)
            {
                
    $this->text strrev($this->text);
            }
