Example code

$validator = Validation::createValidator();
$violations = $validator->validate('Bernhard', array(
new NotBlank(),
new Length(array('min' => 10)),
));
if (0 !== count($violations)) {
// there are errors, now you can show them
foreach ($violations as $violation) {
echo $violation->getMessage().'<br>';
}
