Simple Validator - Easy to use validator library for PHP ======================================================== Simple Validator is a PHP library to perform data validation. Nothing more, nothing less. You don't need to have a full bloated framework or an overkill ORM to validate data. This library is intented to be used inside your models. Features -------- - Simple and easy to use - No dependencies - Validators: AlphaNumeric, Email, Integer, Length, Numeric, Range, Required, Unique, MacAddress, etc... Requirements ------------ - PHP >= 5.3 Author ------ Frédéric Guillot License ------- MIT Usage ----- Your data must be an array, it can be form data, a decoded JSON string or whatever. Each different validator is a simple standalone class. But we use a main class to pass through every validators. Let's see a basic example: use SimpleValidator\Validator; use SimpleValidator\Validators; $data = array('field1' => '1234'); $v = new Validator($data, array( new Validators\Required('field1', 'field1 is required'), new Validators\Integer('field1', 'field1 must be an integer'), )); // Validation error if (! $v->execute()) { print_r($v->getErrors()); // Get all validation errors } Validators ---------- ### Alphanumeric Allow only letters and digits. new Validators\AlphaNumeric('column name', 'error message'); ### Email I use the same validation method as Firefox: So email address like toto+titi@domain.tld are allowed. new Validators\Email($field, $error_message); ### Integer Allow only integer, but also strings with digits only. new Validators\Integer($field, $error_message); ### Length Allow only strings with a correct length. new Validators\AlphaLength($field, $error_message, $min, $max); ### Numeric Allow float, integer and strings with only digits and dot. new Validators\Numeric($field, $error_message); ### Range Allow only numbers inside the specified range. new Validators\Range($field, $error_message, $min, $max); ### Required The specified field must exists. new Validators\Required($field, $error_message); ### Equals The specified fields must be equals. new Validators\Equals($field, $field2, $error_message); ### NotEquals The specified fields must not be equals. new Validators\NotEquals($field, $field2, $error_message); ### Exists Check inside a database if the column value exists or not. new Validators\Exists($field, $error_message, PDO $pdo, $table, $key = ''); `$pdo` must be an PDO instance, `$table` is the table name. By default the key used in the table is the value of `$field`, but it can be override if the field doesn't have the same name in the database. ### Unique Check inside a database if the column value is unique or not. new Validators\Unique($field, $error_message, PDO $pdo, $table, $primary_key = 'id'); `$pdo` must be an PDO instance, `$table` is the table name and by default the primary key is "id". `$field` can either be a string or an array of string to check inside a database if a value from several columns is unique or not. If the primary key value is not null, we don't check the uniqueness of the column for this row. It's useful if you perform validation for an update.
