The Validate package is what you're looking for:
http://pear.php.net/package/Validate
You can check numbers, email, strings, zip codes and so on. To check strings
posted via forms you can use Validate::string by defining a pattern of
allowed characters. Take a look at the Validate.php cource code, at the top
there are some patterns predefined. You can define your own patterns by
extending those.
