GitHub - cakephp/validation: [READ-ONLY] Validation library from CakePHP. This repo is a split of the main code that can be found in https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp

The validation library in CakePHP provides features to build validators that can validate arbitrary arrays of data with ease.

Validator objects define the rules that apply to a set of fields. Validator objects contain a mapping between fields and validation sets. Creating a validator is simple:

use Cake\Validation\Validator;

$validator = new Validator();
$validator
    ->requirePresence('email')
    ->add('email', 'validFormat', [
        'rule' => 'email',
        'message' => 'E-mail must be valid'
    ])
    ->requirePresence('name')
    ->notEmptyString('name', 'We need your name.')
    ->requirePresence('comment')
    ->notEmptyString('comment', 'You need to give a comment.');

$errors = $validator->validate($_POST);
if ($errors) {
    // display errors.
}
