Validate_World

Hello, It's an old idea I had as I entered the Validate & Co., a package able to call local validation methods on general world level. So for example, you can use: $ok = Validate_World::postalCode($nationCode, $value); It's in http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/Validate/Validate/World.php I've put some weak validation default, case the nation or method does not exist. Anyway, implementer may define('VALIDATE_WORLD_DEFAULT', 0); // please dont use false here to get a "strong" validation. Currently, 5 common methods are implemented Any of them takes as first argument the nation code: * Personal Identity Number , formerly mixed with ssn() :

    function pin($nationCode, $ssn)

* Social Security Number :

    function ssn($nationCode, $ssn)

* Postal Code

    function postalCode($nationCode, $postalCode)

* Region, as US state or french departement ...

    function region($nationCode, $region)

* Phone number

    function phoneNumber($nationCode, $phoneNumber)

For other common methods, check() is kept public, $args being an array starting with nation code:

    function check($what, $args)

e.g. $ok = Validate_World::check('passport', array('XX, $passportCode); The compat tables should be complete, every Validate_XX contributor is wellcome to check and correct them. Note that pin() Personal Identity Number and ssn() Social Security Number are now distinguished and maybe some stuff is wrong, e.g. lot of nations have a passport() validation which maybe a pin, please check accordingly. I'm also pleased to announce the very next introduction of Validate_IT Validate_RU :) Any comment wellcome -- toggg
