RFC: PECL validation extension

Hi, this is just an RFC to get some feedback (and I should propose this thing on internals anyway), so please no votes :) I'm developing a pecl extension for "automatically" validating POST and GET parameters passed to a php script. A more detailed explanation of what it does can be found at http://www.xavier-noguer.com/framework.html, so if you have any interest in this please read that. What I haven't decided on yet is the following: - Is there any sense in having an auto_validate option that silently validates, or is this prone to cause more problems than it would solve? - Should all parameters declare their method (post or get)? - Currently, parameters that are received that were not declared simply ignored. I think I should force all parameters to be declared, and receiving an undeclared parameter should cause an error. - I don't have a proper way of handling errors yet. Currently, any failed validation causes a fatal error. I thought of two solutions for this, logging errors or having a framework_error() function return the last error. The function seems cleaner, but logging might be better in case I add the auto_validate option. - I don't have a proper name for this thing. The current one is "framework" but that is definitely a bad name. Any suggestions would be appreciated :) I would appreciate any critics, comments, suggestions, bug reports and of course questions. And thank you for your time. Xavier http://www.xavier-noguer.com/
