Lightweight form validation library for PHP, with a concise syntax and powerful use of closures.

// create the form with rules
$form = new Form([
    'name' => ['required', 'trim', 'max_length' => 255],
    'email' => ['required', 'email']
]);

if ( $form->validate($_POST) ) {
    // $_POST data is valid
    save_to_db_or_something($form->getValues());
}
else {
   // $_POST data is not valid
   display_errors_or_something($form->getErrors());
   // $form->getValues() can be used to repopulate the form
}

The recommended way is to install the lib through Composer.

Just add this to your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "rlanvin/php-form": "1.*"
    }
}

Then run composer install or composer update.

Now you can use the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

• Download the files in src/
• (optional) Merge them into one
• Put them in a folder that is autoloaded, or inclure or require them
• Done

However be sure to come back regulary and check for updates.
