Validating a form using Clonefish is like this:

  1. create a configuration array (or use the free online form builder!)
  2. display the form: 
      $yourform = new Clonefish(...);
  $yourform->addElements( $configuration );
  echo $yourform->getHTML();
  3. Submit the form! The form gets validated using JS in the browser, and will get submitted on successful validation.
  4. $yourform->validate() re-validates totally identically again - this time using PHP!
  5. $yourform->getValues() - get the submitted values in an array.

And why is it so great? Because it helps you to build safe and useable forms easily without hassles.
