Gantry::Plugin::Validate - Validates input values.

  is_date
    if ( is_date( $date ) )

  is_email
    if ( is_email( $email ) )

  is_float 
    if ( is_float( $float ) )

  is_ident
    if ( is_ident( $ident ) )

  is_integer
    if ( is_integer( $integer ) )

  is_ip
    if ( is_ip( $ip ) )

  is_mac
    if ( is_mac( $mac ) )

  is_number
    if ( is_number( $number ) )

  is_text 
    if ( is_text( $text ) )

  is_time
    if ( is_time( $time ) )

This module allows the validation of many common types of input.

is_date( $date )
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'.
is_email( $email )
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'.
is_float( $float )
This function checks to see if $float is a valid floating point number. The function returns either '1' or '0'.
is_ident( $ident )
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'.
is_integer( $integer )
This function checks to see if $integer is in fact a valid integer number. The function returns either '1' or '0'.
is_ip( $ip )
This function checks to see if $ip is a valid ip address. The function returns either '1' or '0'.
is_mac( $mac )
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'.
is_number( $number )
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'.
is_text( $text )
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'.
is_time( $time )
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.
