GUMP - A fast & extensible PHP input validation class - similarly styled to CodeIgniter's validation http://bit.ly/lutVe8

Recently I wrote an article for A List Apart about Forward thinking form validation and I introduced a script I wrote that emulates some of the new HTML Forms chapter functionality in older browsers, allowing a developer to use all these new features and have it work the same across the board.

In the spirit of giving back to the community I have released it under a dual BSD and MIT license so you can do as you please with it. I’ve setup a github repository so you can fork it, watch it suggest ways to improve it and submit any issues.

This script doesn’t rely on any libraries. It uses feature detection to find out if the browser already supports the constraint validation API and either hooks into the native support or creates methods to emulate it.

How does it work?

Let’s dive into the inner workings of the script and see how some of it works. As discussed in the Forward thinking form validation article the script adds the support for some of the HTML5 forms chapter input types and attributes as well as the constraint validation API.

On page load you run the H5F.setup() method which accepts two arguments, the second being optional. The first argument can be a HTMLFormElement, HTMLCollection of form elements or an array of HTMLFormElements. The second optional argument is an object to setup the class names to be applied to the fields in their different validity states.

Making legacy pages work with Web Forms 2

By Hallvord R. M. Steen · 5 Apr, 2007

Published in: wf2, html5
The Web Forms 2 specification, part of the HTML5 work at WHAT WG, makes it easier to write and validate forms - but some compatibility problems with legacy scripts exist. I have seen legacy content run into the following classes of problems:

* Un-intended form validation prevents submitting forms
* Legacy scripts are confused by new DOM properties
* Some properties are resolved as URLs

# Form.submit() throws error if form validation fails
Below I will explain each of these with examples and show how you can work around or fix the problems. For more details on how to use Web Forms 2 for new or reworked websites, refer to the article improve your forms using HTML5.

1. sys_getloadavg()
2. pack()
3. cal_days_in_month()
4. _()
5. get_browser()
6. debug_print_backtrace()
7. metaphone()
8. natsort()
9. levenshtein()
10. glob()

Limit is a plugin for the javascript framework Jquery that limits the number of characters that can be entered in a textarea or input field. The plugin can also report the number of characters left before the user reaches the length limit.

The JSON Formatter (& Validator!) helps debugging JSON data by formatting the JSON into data that is easily readable by human beings.
