Wow, what a great script! Easily the best out there. 

However, I can't work out how to use your method of data validation in 
comparison with written php validation. How can I use a rule file to parse for 
the following field entries: 
------------------------------------------ 
if ($nickname) 
{ 
if ( !eregi ( '(9th )([a-zA-Z0-9]{3,12})', $nickname)) 
exit; 
if (eregi('([!"·$%&/=()?¿;:´.+\<>])',$nickname)) 
exit; 
} 
------------------------------------------- 
'$nickname must start with '9th ' and be followed 
by between three and twelve alpha-numerics', and it 
must not contain any of the specified symbols'. 
------------------------------------------- 

and another one: 

------------------------------------------- 
if ($icq) 
{ 
if (!eregi('([0-9]{5,15})', $icq)) 

exit; 
} 
------------------------------------------- 
'$icq must be a string of between five and fifteen 
numbers. No other characters allowed'. 
------------------------------------------- 

I'm completely new to php (two days), so forgive me if my php is not very 
good, but it is the best way of expressing the kind of parsing that I would 
like phorm to do. However, I have no idea how to make phorm check these kinds 
of strings using the 'critereon' you have listed in the documents. Any help 
you can give me would be fantastic. 

Cheers!
