PHPFormValidator
================

[](#phpformvalidator)

A PHP Library for 'self-documenting' server side Form Validations.

A typical usage would be like this:

```
use FormGuide\PHPFormValidator\FormValidator;

$validator = FormValidator::create();

$validator->fields(['name','email'])->areRequired()->maxLength(50);
$validator->field('email')->isEmail();

if(!$validator->test($_POST))
{
	return json_encode($validator->getErrors(true));
}
```

Installation using composer
---------------------------

[](#installation-using-composer)

```
composer require FormGuide/PHPFormValidator

```

Declaring validations for single fields
---------------------------------------

[](#declaring-validations-for-single-fields)

```
$validator->field('email')->isEmail()->isRequired();
```

Declaring validations for multiple fields
-----------------------------------------

[](#declaring-validations-for-multiple-fields)

```
$validator->fields(['name','email'])->areRequired()->maxLength(50);
```

This is equivalent to:

```
$validator->field('name')->isRequired()->maxLength(50);

$validator->field('email')->isRequired()->maxLength(50);
```
