Check an email value

$validator = new Pop\Validator\Email();

// Returns false
if ($validator->evaluate('bad-email-address')) {
    // Prints out the default message 'The value must be a valid email format.'
    echo $validator->getMessage();
}

// Returns true
if ($validator->evaluate('[email protected]')) {
    // Do something with a valid email address.
}

Validate against a specific value

$validator = new Pop\Validator\LessThan(10);

if ($validator->evaluate(8)) { } // Returns true

Set a custom message

$validator = new Pop\Validator\RegEx(
    '/^.*\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$/i',
    'You must only submit JPG, PNG or GIF images.'
);

// Returns false
if ($validator->evaluate('image.bad')) {
    echo $validator->getMessage();
}

$validator = new Pop\Validator\RegEx('/^.*\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$/i');
$validator->setMessage('You must only submit JPG, PNG or GIF images.');

if ($validator->evaluate('image.jpg')) { } // Returns true
