This fairly simple yet handy CFC will validate forms (or whatever input really) for you and return a structure with the fields that didn't pass validation.
It will validate:
- null inputs for required fields
- numeric input
- email addresses
- phone numbers
- zip codes
- credit card numbers
To use you pass in the entire form and tell it what the field names are for the different types of fields. You can also specify and ignore list of field names for fields that are optional on your form.
Enjoy and feel free to modify it to suit your needs.
