smrtClass is a restrictive data type class based on PHP’s stdClass. Instead of allowing the free creation and setting of properties as the stdClass does, smrtClass requires properties to be setup first with a specific type or regex requirement. Data is then checked against this requirement when the property is modified, and if inconsistent with the data requirements throws an exception.
smrtClass is designed to provide an added layer of security to PHP applications, and while it does not provide 100% protection, it does signigicantly help to prevent malicious, dangerous, or malformed data from making its way into the applications crucial systems.
smrtClass also contains locking mechanisms to prevent data from being deliberately or accidentally modified.

$test->add('alphaOnly', '/^[a-z]$/i');
$test->alphaOnly = 'Hello'; // valid
