Print all permutations of a string in php

Php program for Print all permutations of a string. Here problem description and explanation.

<?php
// Php program for
// Print all permutations of a string
class Permutation
{
	// Swapping two string elements by index
	public
	function swap($text, $size, $a, $b)
	{
		// Check valid location of swap element
		if (($a >= 0 && $a < $size) && ($b >= 0 && $b < $size))
		{
			//Get first character
			$first = $text[$a];
			//Get second character
			$second = $text[$b];
			//Put character
			$text = substr($text, 0, $b - strlen($text)).$first.
            substr($text, $b + 1);
			$text = substr($text, 0, $a - strlen($text)).$second.
            substr($text, $a + 1);
		}
		return $text;
	}
	// Method which is print all permutations of given string
	public
	function findPermutation($text, $n, $size)
	{
		if ($n > $size)
		{
			return;
		}
		if ($n == $size)
		{
			echo $text, "\n";
			return;
		}
		for ($i = $n; $i < $size; ++$i)
		{
			// Swap the element
			$text = $this->swap($text, $size, $i, $n);
			$this->findPermutation($text, $n + 1, $size);
			// Swap the element
			$text = $this->swap($text, $size, $i, $n);
		}
	}
	public static

	function main($args)
	{
		$task = new Permutation();
		$text = "ABC";
		$size = strlen($text);
		$task->findPermutation($text, 0, $size);
		print("\n");
		$text = "abcd";
		$size = strlen($text);
		$task->findPermutation($text, 0, $size);
	}
}
Permutation::main(array());
