The list of valid values must be provided in semicolon-separated list format (like so: value1;value2;value3;..;valuen). If a validation error occurs, the list of valid values is not revelead (this means, the error will just say the input is invalid, but it won't reveal the valid set to the user.` - doesnt\_contain\_list:n (TODO) `Verify that a value is not contained within the pre-defined value set. Semicolon (;) separated, list not outputted. See the rule above for more info.` - min\_numeric (TODO) `Determine if the provided numeric value is higher or equal to a specific value` - max\_numeric (TODO) `Determine if the provided numeric value is lower or equal to a specific value` - date `Determine if the provided input is a valid date (ISO 8601)` - starts `Ensures the value starts with a certain character / set of character` - phone\_number `Validate phone numbers that match the following examples: 555-555-5555 , 5555425555, 555 555 5555, 1(519) 555-4444, 1 (519) 555-4422, 1-555-555-5555` - regex `You can pass a custom regex using the following format: 'regex,/your-regex/'` - json `validate string to check if it's a valid json format` Creating your own validators ============================ [](#creating-your-own-validators) Adding custom validators and filters is made easy by using callback functions. ``` require("gump.class.php"); /* Create a custom validation rule named "is_object". The callback receives 3 arguments: The field to validate, the values being validated, and any parameters used in the validation rule. It should return a boolean value indicating whether the value is valid. */ GUMP::add_validator("is_object", function($field, $input, $param = NULL) { return is_object($input[$field]); }); /* Create a custom filter named "upper". The callback function receives two arguments: The value to filter, and any parameters used in the filter rule. It should returned the filtered value. */ GUMP::add_filter("upper", function($value, $params = NULL) { return strtoupper($value); }); ``` Set Custom Field Names ====================== [](#set-custom-field-names) You can easily override your form field names for improved readability in errors using the `GUMP::set_field_name($field, $readable_name)` method as follows: ``` $data = array( 'str' => null ); $rules = array( 'str' => 'required' ); GUMP::set_field_name("str", "Street"); $validated = GUMP::is_valid($data, $rules); if($validated === true) { echo "Valid Street Address\n"; } else { print_r($validated); } ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
