### 17 March 2015 (St. Patricks Day!)

[](#17-march-2015-st-patricks-day)

Today's development involved refactoring of code and file structure. I also added more formatted comments as appropriate.

An external library, [php-multi-curl](https://github.com/jmathai/php-multi-curl "php-multi-curl"), was sourced to enable more reliable checking.

TO DO: Plan for proper unit testing - given the number of possible URL combinations to test, this will require some thinking and research.

### 16 March 2015

[](#16-march-2015)

This is the very first day of development - not even considered a beta release yet.

Initial development today included:

- Setting up classes to handle regex libraries (specifically for url syntax validation)
- Setting up the initial base class for validation
- Creating a Helpers class to manage miscellaneous functionality
- Creating a class to hold adapted regex libraries (which will be sourced)
