}

Once created, the data can be submitted to the said class for validation:

$check = new UserCheck;

$data = /* e.g., data from request */;

if ($check->valid($data))
{
  // $data passed from validation
}
else
{
  // Get the available errors ---
  $errors = $check->errors();
  // ----------------------------

  // Or get the first error only ---
  echo $check->firstError();
