Input validation object

[tbach2]

This is a partial PHP port of the CPAN Data::formValidator module. It has only a few of the options, but I figure its a good start.

The setup in your pages may seem a bit cumbersome at first, but I think you'll find that the way it lets you define constraints and dependencies makes it worth it.

The current setup lets you define

• required variables

• optional variables

• variable dependencies

• filters for the variables

• constraints for the variables

The object makes available a list of

• missing variables (required and dependencies)

• invalid variables (failed their constraint)

• filtered variables

• valid variables

I'm looking for critique/ suggestions on

• design and readability

• code efficiency

• code usefulness

• any suggestions how to validate arrays in addition to scalar vars

Thanks 🙂
