ocPortal Developer's Guide: Validation
» Return to ContentsValidation is one of the most important things in the battle against hackers, so ocPortal provides a full compliment of validation functions (most of them aren't in validation.php, though).
The functions in validation.php (shown here) are concerned with specific validations of input, rather than simple type checks.
