//initialize the class
$val = new Validator();

/*** use POST as the source ***/
$val->addSource($_POST);

/*** add a form field rule ***/
/*** addRule('name', 'type', required, min, max, trim, regex)***/
$val->addRule('name', 'string', true, 5, 255, true)
    ->addRule('email', 'email', true, 1, 255, true)
    ->addRule('website', 'url', false, 1, 255, true)
    ->addRule('age', 'numeric', true, 1, 100, true)
    ->addRule('salary', 'float', false, 1, 99999999, true)
    ->addRule('date', 'regex', true, 10, 10, true,"#^(((?:0?[1-9]|1[012])|(?:0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])|([a-zA-Z]+))([.,]?[-.\\\/\s]))?(((?:0?[1-9]|1[012])|(?:0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])|([a-zA-Z]+))([.,]?[-.\\\/\s]))?((?:20|19)[0-9]{2})$#");
/*** run the validation rules ***/
$val->run();
/*** if there are errors show them ***/
if(sizeof($val->errors) > 0)
{
    print_r($val->errors);
}
