Hello all,
I am using jQuery Form Validation Plugin to do comprehensive client side validation.
Now I would like to use PHP to do the server side validation.
Check whether the email is email, age is in the right range, etc.
Is there similar package or function collections that I can use rather than write all validation method manually?
Thank you
If you're writing more or less complex application, you probably would benefit from using a framework, such as Zend Framework for instance. It has some standalone classes to aid validation process as well, for example Zend_Validate: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.validate.html
The closest thing that's bundled with PHP is the filter extension. It does validation and sanitization.
for email validation you can use is_email function. Check the link:http://www.ohloh.net/p/isemail
