Question

I used jquery validation for front-end data validate. But i need to do validate on sever-side as well.

I’m looking for a good validation library in php which has the features as many as jquery validation, including required field, check email, check number, min-length, max-length, equalto another field and custom validate method.

I’m using codeigniter and i found that it has a form_validate library, it has most of the features in jquery validation but it can not be used without codeigniter and its erroer report is a html snippet not an array structure. I also want to use it in a restful service.

So if there is another library which can do the job like jquery validation i will use that one or i may need to do some work to modify the codeigniter form validation myself.

Thanks in advance.

Here are a couple of php validation classes:

This one compliments JQuery.
