octaValidate-PHP V2.1

1. validateFields() method accepts 2 arguments.

• The first argument is an array of your validation rules
• The second argument is the array of the fields to validate.
  • This is where the form fields are coming from which can either be the $_POST or $_GET array. If no value is provided, it defaults to the $_POST array.

2. status() method was removed

3. All public methods now have better documentation on how to invoke them

    //process form data here
}else{
    //instead of doing this
    print_r( $myForm -> getErrors() );
    //do this instead
    print_r( json_encode($myForm -> getErrors()) );
