I’ve got a bone to pick with the Kohana development team. I just wasted a couple hours out of my day adding functionality to their core Validate class only to find that the functionality had already been added in a future revision. All I was looking to do was pass parameters to a custom callback function. I had even documented the entire change and was looking to post a feature request with an included patch. I later came to realize that the version I was using, 3.0.3, was outdated to the point of lacking this seemingly trivial functionality that was included in 3.0.7. So bare with me while I rant on why your framework is losing in the popularity contest. more »

I wanted to share a very quick snippet of code I conjured up to demonstrate the use of Kohana’s validation library to verify the proper size of an uploaded image submitted from form input. The height and width class vars specify the height/width or max height/max width of the image in pixels depending on the boolean value of EXACT_SIZE. If EXACT_SIZE is false, we assume that both the height and width of the uploaded image must be less than or equal to the two constant sizes. more »
