Using it to prevent SQL injection

<?php

// YOUR VARABLE
$name = "Abdulsalam Amtech";

// INITIALIZING CLASS
$validator = new Validator();
$name = $validator->input($name, "text");

// CHECK FOR ANY ERROR
if($validator->inputError() === true){
    // GET ERROR MESSAGE
    echo $validator->inputErrorMessage();
}else{
    // YOU CAN INSERT THIS INTO YOUR SQL STATEMENT
    $sql_name = $validator->validInput($name);
}

?>

Retreiving your data from SQL and displaying it on your page

<?php

// VARIABLE FROM database
$sql_name = "Abdulsalam Amtech";

// INITIALIZING CLASS
$validator = new Validator();

// YOU CAN DISPLAY THIS VARIABLE ON YOUR HTML PAGE
$name = $validator->validOutput($sql_name);

echo "My name is " . $name;

?>

Types of data validation types

This are the types of data validation you can use

    $var = "";
    $type = "";

    $types = [
        // for text only
        [] = "text",
        // for number only
        [] = "number",
        // for email
        [] = "email",
        // for text and number only
        [] = "alphanumeric",
        // for text, numbers, and special characters
        [] = "varchar",
        // for password (+234): this must be pass into valid input and output
        [] = "password"
    ];

    // INITIALIZING CLASS
    $validator = new Validator();
    $input = $validator->input($var. $type);
