}##Basic Usage
The Doctype_Validator can be used to check the validity of a doctype, find errors and match it with existing official doctypes.
- First create an instance of the validator:
$dtv = new Doctype_Validator();- Assign the doctype you want to validate:
$doctype = "<!DOCTYPE html>";Checking to see if a doctype is valid.
$valid = $dtv->validate($doctype)->isValid();@return boolean TRUE or FALSE.
A check can be performed with isMatch() to see if there is a match.
$match = $dtv->validate($doctype)->isMatch();@return boolean TRUE or FALSE
$matches = $dtv->validate($doctype)->matches();@return string of name of match, or NULL if no match.
If a doctype is not valid, Doctype_Validator will try to analyse why it is not valid. A list of errors can be found in Doctype_Error.php.
A simple check if a doctype has errors in it can be performed by the hasError() function.
$error = $dtv->validate($doctype)->hasError();@return boolean TRUE or FALSE.
You can retrieve errors with the getErrors() method.
$result = $dtv->validate($doctype);
if($result->hasErrors())
{
$errors = $result->getErrors();
}@return array of errors.
The doctype will be dissected into smaller fragments and these can be access with getFragments().
$fragments = $dtv->validate($doctype)->getFragments();@return array of fragmentens
