How to validate form using array instead of if/else statments

Hi, I saw somewhere I can't remember a use validating a registration form using array[], errors .. something like that but did not use if/else statements. The errors were constructed in arrays. Anyway, what is a neat way validating inputs?

thanks

 

You can build yourselve a function that does all the work for you, as i have done many times! and insert it with a to check array with variables.

In my case the array looked something like this.

$a = array('fieldtocheck' => array('min' => 10, 'max' => 100,
'type' => 'numeric'),
               'fieldtocheck1' => array('type' => 'email'),
               'fieldtocheck2' => array('type' => 'regex', 'value' => 'regexstring'));

Code (markup):

etc

 

Hello eritrea1,

This may be of some use. It's a downloadable universal php form validator script with instructions. Hope it helps.

You might think about using AJAX for forms validation. Do a Google search on "php ajax form validation" for more info. A little more to it, but a better user experience.
