The problem is these value could change a lot from a bank to another, with no real constant string format, but these different values are always there. But you can pass an array as the 1st argument which contains each key/value pair. This is implemented in every function to allow the Validate::multiple() calls. Multiple allows you to make a single call with as many values to check you need. > In summary, I would suggest that you use functionName($valuesToTest, > $optionsForValidation) as a common access to all validation functions. Does multiple fit your needs ? Thank's pierre
