typical use:

$valid = new ValidFluent($_POST); 
$valid->name('user_name')->required('You must chose a user name!')->alfa()->minSize(5);
$valid->name('user_email')->required()->email();
$valid->name('birthdate')->date('please enter date in YYYY-MM-DD format');
if ($valid->isGroupValid()) echo 'Validation Passed!';

OR:

$valid = new ValidFluent($_POST);
if ( $valid->name('user_name')->required('You must chose a user name!')->alfa()->minSize(5)
	    ->name('user_email')->required()->email()
	    ->name('birthdate')->date('please enter date in YYYY-MM-DD format')
	    ->isGroupValid() )
    echo 'Validation passed!';

On HTML Form:

    <input type="text"   name="email"
	   value="<?php echo $valid->getValue('email'); ?>" />
    <span class="error">
	<?php echo $valid->getError('email'); ?>
    </span>

To create new validation rules!

1- define default error message

private static $error_myValidaton = 'my default error message';

2- create new validation function

function myValidation($param , $errorMsg=NULL)
  {
  if ($this->isValid && (! empty($this->currentObj->value)))
    {
    	//
    	//code to check if validation pass
    	//
   	$this->isValid = // TRUE or FALSE ;
	if (! $this->isValid)
	$this->setErrorMsg($errorMsg, self::$error_myValidation, $param);
	}
  return $this;
  }

3- use it

$Valid->name('testing')->myValidation(10, 'some error msg!');
