SPasswordValidator 1.2

SPasswordValidator is a password validator for the Yii framework. Tested with yii 1.1.12.

It's to use for a form/model validation rule.

Features

• Ready to use out of the box (see example basic below)

• Presets to choose required strength (relax, normal, strong)

• Customize parameters

  • minimum number of characters
  • minimum number of upper case characters
  • minimum number of lower case characters
  • minimum number of digits characters
  • minimum number of special characters

• Max parameter to avoid using another validator (in case you store value not encoded)

• Documentation included

• Coded using unit tests

Examples

Basic (default params)

    public function rules()
    {
        return array(
            array('password','ext.SPasswordValidator.SPasswordValidator');
        );
    }

With preset

    public function rules()
    {
        return array(
            array('password','ext.SPasswordValidator.SPasswordValidator', 'preset' => 'relax');
        );
    }

With custom parameters

Number of upper case chars set to 1, minimum number of characters set to 10.

    public function rules()
    {
        return array(
            array('password','ext.SPasswordValidator.SPasswordValidator', 'up' => 1, 'min' => 10);
        );
    }

Preset strong plus a max length (in case you store something else that a password, not encrypted)

    public function rules()
    {
        return array(
            array('password','ext.SPasswordValidator.SPasswordValidator', 'preset' => 'strong', 'max' => 41);
        );
    }

Parameter other than max will be overriden by the preset parameters value.
