Screencast: Quick PHP Form Validation with PEAR
Note: I hope the quality is manageable. If I do another screencast I’ll be working on improving it.
You can download the script I wrote in this tutorial from here.

Great tutorial. Looking forward to more.
One thing I ran into, when trying to validate a field using the format VALIDATE_NAME in the opts array:
'first_name' => array('type' => 'string',array('format'=>VALIDATE_NAME))
it kept failing when validating names with apostrophes, until I realized that magic_quotes_gpc was on, so in the value array:
'last_name' => $p_last_name,
needs to become
'last_name' => stripslashes($p_last_name),
Hope this helps someone out there.

Absolutely tremendous. I was looking to learn about Validate and I learned that and a whole lot more in this screencast.
Thank you sir.
