README

my first crack at learning PHP back in 2007. Rewritten in 2014 to use YAML instead of XML. Changed from Chain of Command pattern to use basic Load-On-Demand instead.

Usage:

$loader = new YamlConfiguration();
$loader->loadConfig(__SITE_PATH . '/validation-config.yml');

//YAML key $key = 'new_user_signup'; $validator = new Validator($loader, $this->getLogger()); //Monolog\Logger

$result = $validator->validateRequest($key, $this->getPostedParams());

Notes:

if $result is an array holding values, it will be an associative array where the fieldname is the index key and the LANG_STRING (for multi-locale support) is the value of that index.

sample YAML config (validation-config.yml):

failkey: some_other_yml_key

fields:

#uses 2 validation routines in this example, Required then String - firstname: - class: Required
failkey: VALIDATION_REQUIRED_FIELD - class: String
failkey: VALIDATION_INVALID_STRING params: maxlength: 20

- lastname:
    - 
        class: Required       
        failkey: VALIDATION_REQUIRED_FIELD         
    - 
        class: String
        failkey: VALIDATION_INVALID_STRING
        params:
            maxlength: 20

#email is optional in this sample so no Required validation needed - email - class: Email failkey: VALIDATION_INVALID_EMAIL

Alphabet	- letters only

BusinessName - letters, numbers, apostrophe, and &()-,.
