php-validation
==============

[](#php-validation)

my first crack at learning PHP back in 2007. Rewritten in 2014 to use YAML instead of XML. Changed from Chain of Command pattern to use basic Load-On-Demand instead.

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

$loader = new YamlConfiguration();
$loader->loadConfig(\_\_SITE\_PATH . '/validation-config.yml');

//YAML key $key = 'new\_user\_signup'; $validator = new Validator($loader, $this->getLogger()); //Monolog\\Logger

$result = $validator->validateRequest($key, $this->getPostedParams());

Notes:
------

[](#notes)

if $result is an array holding values, it will be an associative array where the fieldname is the index key and the LANG\_STRING (for multi-locale support) is the value of that index.

sample YAML config (validation-config.yml):

failkey: some\_other\_yml\_key

fields:

\#uses 2 validation routines in this example, Required then String - firstname: - class: Required
failkey: VALIDATION\_REQUIRED\_FIELD - class: String
failkey: VALIDATION\_INVALID\_STRING params: maxlength: 20

```
- lastname:
    -
        class: Required
        failkey: VALIDATION_REQUIRED_FIELD
    -
        class: String
        failkey: VALIDATION_INVALID_STRING
        params:
            maxlength: 20

```

\#email is optional in this sample so no Required validation needed - email - class: Email failkey: VALIDATION\_INVALID\_EMAIL

Possible Validation Classes:

```
Address

AlphaNumeric - letters and numbers only

Alphabet	- letters only

BusinessName - letters, numbers, apostrophe, and &()-,.

Currency

Date

Email

IPAddress

Integer

Required

String - letters, spaces and apostrophes

Telephone

URL

```
