FileValidatorModule class

Base class for FileValidator modules, which validate uploaded files.

To create a FileValidator module:

1. Create a class that extends this and follow the naming convention: FileValidator[Something].
2. Place in file: /site/modules/FileValidator[Something].module (or in module-specific directory).
3. Copy the getModuleInfo() method out of this class and update as appropriate.
4. Implement an isValidFile($filename) method, and you are done.

Example: /site/modules/FileValidatorHTML.module

class FileValidatorHTML extends FileValidatorModule {
    public static function getModuleInfo() {
      return array(
        'title' => 'Validate HTML files',
        'version' => 1,
        'validates' => array('html', 'htm'),
      );
    }
    protected function isValidFile($filename) {
        $valid = false;
        // some code to validate $filename and set $valid
        return $valid;
    }
}
