When some people start out in a new language, they are in it for the long haul.  Other people sometimes just need to touch on it without getting into the details.  PHP is one of those languages where you can do things in a quick and dirty way without getting into the details.  I have written a simple class for the kind of person that just wants to get a few things done quickly that is familiar with VBScripting.  The class is mainly a wrapper class that allows you to perform VBScript style methods on strings in PHP.  For instance, you can use VBScript::Left($string, $length) instead of using PHP’s substr($string, 0, $length).  Enjoy!

In this article, I’ll be talking about a couple of the inconsistencies you may run into when using these methods due to improper implementations and a lack of restrictions on how they should be implemented.
