+Validating an Array (other than $_POST)

+
+Sometimes you may want to validate an array that does not originate from $_POST data.
+
+In this case, you can specify the array to be validated::

+ $data = array(
+ 'username' => 'johndoe',

+validating $_POST data or an array.

+**Important Note:** If you want to validate more than one array during a single execution, then you should
