I agree, this example isn't suitable for production work simply an example of how to use PEAR Validation. :-) @Paul – Thanks for your feedback.

I now know about Pear :) Suggested improvements: One of your example fields had a minimum length. If you entered something but did not meet the minimum length, your script would still simply say "....is a required field" without explaining what went wrong. Secondly, when more than 1 thing goes wrong it's better usability (IMHO anyway) to inform the user of all the errors at the same time, rather than showing 1 error at a time.

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. Great tutorial. Looking forward to more.
