This class implemented to return null especially when the variable does not exists to avoid exceptions

Sample:

if (TRequest::inPost(array("category", "product")) == true) {
	$post_category = $this->validate_category(TRequest::fromPostObject("category"));
	$post_product  = $this->validate_product(TRequest::fromPostObject("product"));

	/* your code here to */
	//print $post_category->name;
}

to use this with GET/POST/COOKIE/SERVER etc, you need to transform the array into TNullClass object using the following function

/**
 * Transforms Array to stdClass
 * @param mixed $object
 * @return stdClass
 */
function array_to_nullclass($object) {
	$result = new TNullClass();

	if (is_array($object) === true) {
		foreach ($object as $key => $value) {
			$result->{$key} = $value;
		}
	}

	return $result;
}
