Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Important Changes to 16preRC API

[Dan Kuykendall]

I am working hard and fast on my new security class. It can accomplish 
much of the same thing that the validator does. I have not looked at the 
validator code, but by looking at the examples you have given of what 
the apps are using it for, I will be able to replace those functions 
with mine by tomorrow.
The app will still need to be updated from using the validator class to 
the security class, but other than that it should be an easy transition.

Also, my security class probably offers more features, because its 
designed to cover ALL inputs, including those coming in from soap and xmlrpc
