Valid8 for PHP

Introduction

Valid8 is a singleton validation class that will reduce the amount of bugs in your code that a result of unexpected values in functions or APIs. Currently it's designed to work with associative arrays ($_GET, $_POST, custom arrays etc...). A mostly complete example is below.

function my_function($params=array())
{
	if(!valid8($response, $params)
		->check('some_id')->is('int')->required()->greater_than(0)
		->check('other_val')->is('string')->default_to('')
		->check('third_val')->is('array')->in(1,2,3,4,5,6)->default_to(array())
		->check('some_id2')->is('int')->less_than(5)
		->check('date_stamp')->is('date')->not_empty()
		->check('number')->is('numeric')->greater_than(1.5)
		->run())
	{return $response;}

	// do something with the sweet knowledge your parameters are safe
}
my_function(array(
	'some_id' => 5,
	'other_val' => 'my_string',
	'third_val' => array(1,2,3)
));
