Play.php

<?php
/*
 * This application is a demo of writing an application in oop using SOLID principals and Strategy Design Pattern
 *  It can pick a random set of playing cards hand and check whether they are "Straight" or "Straight Flush" according to Poker
 *  high low standard rules
 *
 * note: to run, type: php Play.php on the console and then press enter
 * to test with arbitrary set of hands, just write a new strategy similar to StraightHandSelection.php to see if
 * the application really works (you need to then add this at the end of $strategies array below).
 *
 * Alternatively pay attention to the random selection of cards appearing on the first line of output when running this
 * app and check the results logically
 *
 * Note: a set of 5 cards is called "hand" throughout this application
