This module allows the validation of many common types of input.
Standard constructor, call it first. It takes nothing.
This function takes a date,
$date,
and verifies that it is indeed a valid date.
The date must be of the form "MM-DD-YYYY".
The function returns either '1' or '0'.
This function checks to see if $email is a valid email address.
It checks only the form of the email address and not if the username or the domain exist.
The function returns either '1' or '0'.
This function checks to see if $float is a valid floating point number.
The function returns either '1' or '0'.
This function checks to see if $ident is a valid text ident.
This means it has text,
and none of the text is a space.
The function returns either '1' or '0'.
This function checks to see if $integer is in fact a valid integer number.
The function returns either '1' or '0'.
This function checks to see if $ip is a valid ip address.
The function returns either '1' or '0'.
This function checks to see if $mac contains the valid characters for a MAC address.
It does not currently check to see if the MAC address is of the proper length.
The function returns either '1' or '0'.
This function checks to see if $number is a valid number.
It does this by checking if it passes is_integer() or is_float().
The function returns eiter a '1' or a '0'.
This function checks to see if $text does contain text.
This is a fairly broad range of things mainly it must be defined and have a length that is greater than 0.
The function returns either a '1' or a '0'.
This function checks to see if $time does contain a valid time.
A valid date is in military time ( 0-23:0-59 ) seconds are optional.
Gantry(3), Date::Calc(3)
This module depends on Date::Calc(3) for the is_date validation.
