It provides functions to fetch session, cookie, POST or GET form request values, as well other functions to perform several types of validation.
Currently it can validate a value as an e-mail address, a number, alphanumeric test, a date, state code with two characters, IP address, HTTP URL, check whether a value is defined, check the length of the value, provide a default for empty values, and compare two values.
This class can be used to validate Web forms both on browser and server side.
It can generate to validate forms on the browser side before the forms are submitted. It can also validate forms on the server side using the class own PHP code.
Currently it supports several built-in validation types like: empty fields, e-mail address, URL, numeric value within optional range, length between a range, etc..
The way that errors are displayed after browser side validation is configurable and it works the same way in different browsers.
