I strongly recommend you don't do this. The LDAP server has to do it all anyway when you register the user after passing your own code, and you can never have a guarantee that your own code exactly matches the LDAP server's tests. And merely passing a syntax check locally still allows plenty of other... (more) |

PHP is so poorly defined that it would be rather difficult to attach much meaning to the concept of 'syntax error', let alone the extended checking that a lint program would be expected to perform.

A: What makes a software module an "authentication" module? The purpose of authentication is to establish the identity of the peer, and the number of ways to do that is infinite. Any software that accomplishes that objective can be categorized as authantication software. Your question is therefore ill-formed. But no competently written piece of software is... (more) |

@JohnDoes 'Ill-formed' in that it proposes a test via specific requirements when the number of ways to accomplish the task is infinite and need not include any of those proposed. (more) |

You have confused compression in artefacts like JPEG and MPEG, which are both lossy, with data compression in general, which in general isn't lossy. Defragmentation has absoultely nothing to do with any of it. (more) |

The paragraph starting 'During optimization, a compiler tries to store as many variables as possible inside registers' needs further work. This is entirely untrue of any variable allocated statically, and it is also untrue of any variable that has its address taken, special compiler optimizations apa... (more) |

No. HTML is a context-free language, and regular expressions only handle regular languages. You need a parser. Specifically, you need a schema validator.
