README

PHP Validation class inspired by the jQuery Validation Plugin (http://jqueryvalidation.org/)

Description

I created this library to use along with jQuery Validation Plugin.

It allows to use the same (or similar) rules used for jQuery Validation Plugin implementation in the client side to validate the request in the server side.

Installation

Install using composer. Exists as eclemens/php-validation in the packagist repository.

Add the package to the require section in your composer.json file:

{
    "require" : {
        "eclemens/php-validation": "dev-master"
    }
}

Usage

Basic standalone usage

PHP

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Create validator instance
$validator = new PHPValidation\Validation();

// Add rules
$validator->rules([
    'username'   => ['required' => true, 'rangelength' => [3, 64]],
    'email'      => ['required' => true, 'email' => true],
    'password'   => ['required' => true],
    'repassword' => ['equalTo' => 'password']
]);

// Data
$data = [
    'username'   => 'johndoe',
    'email'      => 'johndoe@example.org',
    'password'   => 'pass1234',
    'repassword' => 'pass1234'
];

// Validate:
if ($validator->valid($data)) {
    // It's a valid data!
}

Usage along with jQuery Validation Plugin

HTML

<form>
    <input type="text" name="username">
    <input type="email" name="email">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="repassword" name="repassword">
    <input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

JavaScript

$("form").validate({
    "rules": {
        "username":   {"required": true, "rangelength": [3, 64]},
        "email":      {"required": true, "email": true},
        "password":   {"required": true},
        "repassword": {"equalTo": "[name=password]"}
    }
});

PHP

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Create validator instance
$validator = new PHPValidation\Validation();

// Add rules
$validator->rules([
    'username'   => ['required' => true, 'rangelength' => [3, 64]],
    'email'      => ['required' => true, 'email' => true],
    'password'   => ['required' => true],
    'repassword' => ['equalTo' => 'password'],
]);

// Validate:
if ($validator->valid($_REQUEST)) {
    // It's a valid data!
}
