Usage of “Forms and Validation” The creation of HTML-forms is a time consuming task. Also the creation of validation rules has to be done and is always quite similar and still has to be tested intensively. The PHP class “Forms and Validation” can reduce the necessary time to create input forms on your website to a minimum. In addition there are a lot of validation rules included to make your life easier. I created some examples to show you how easy you can use this PHP class (click on “live preview” so see them). You can try every example by your own to get an feeling for the power of the creation and validation capabilities and this class. Also you can directly see the used source code to boost your learning curve of this class functions. In the end there is a complete list of the public functions of this class. I hope this class saves you a lot of time so you can focus on the real challenging programming tasks.

Copy the php and css file to any location of your webspace (e.g. to the directory /fav) Make sure that you can use sessions in the target file: “session_start();” Initialise the class: “require_once(‘formsAndValidation_class.php’);” You are ready to start… (best would be to start with one of the examples from the README) Adapt the css file to your need. Have fun, save a lot of time and give me a good rating on code canyon
