validatePool

validatePool [Protected]

Pre-validates the integrity of the built character pool before password generation begins. It ensures that no active character category required by the configuration has been completely removed by exclusions.

Usage

validatePool(string $pool): bool

Parameters

pool (string) : The compiled and filtered master character pool to validate.

Return Value

Validation Rules

The method performs a "fail-fast" check using regular expressions against the $pool variable:

• Lowercase letters must always be present.
• If uppercase is enabled, at least one uppercase letter must exist in the pool.
• If numbers is enabled, at least one number must exist in the pool.
• If symbols is enabled, at least one symbol must exist in the pool.

Examples

$sec->validatePool('abcdefghijkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789!@#$%^*+-=_.,?:;()') = true

Config Options

Config Key	Default Value	Allowed Values	Description
numbers	true	bool	Allow numbers in password generation.
symbols	true	bool	Allow symbols in password generation. (!@#$%^*+-=_.,?:;())
uppercase	true	bool	Allow uppercase letters in password generation.

Debug Errors

• Throws an exception if all lowercase letters are excluded.
