Is the Validate PEAR package ready for production?


There appears to be a Validate package in Pear that I'm interested in useing in production. Our site has about 20M uniques across 10 languages, so as part of due diligence, thought I'd asked around here.

Does anyone have any experience with this PEAR package?

Is it ready for production?

Here's the Validate package in question: http://pear.php.net/package/Validate

Solution

  • Judging by the revision number and the revision title. (0.8.2 (Beta)) i would say no. Personally i would advice against using any Beta product in production, though there are many cases that it worked out fine (stackoverflow for example). Though you are always running a risk of something happening.
