I appreciated feedback! Why do you think basic validation module should be better than full OO implementation(s)? Simple and basic type support NULL/BOOL/INT/FLOAT/STRING/ARRAY/OBJECT is enough for C written PHP module. IMHO, PHP modules are better of to provide basic features that may be extended by user scripts. I picked 1st one on the list as an example. This kind of rule construction is inefficient compare to simple array rules, so I doubt this is the way for basic validator module written by C. $validator = Validation::createValidator(); $violations = $validator->validate('Bernhard', array( new Length(array('min' => 10)), new NotBlank(), )); However, this particular validation class seems it could be good one that wraps validate module for nicer OO API and faster execution.
