# Yes - `Yes()` - `Yes(bool $locale)` Validates if the input considered as "Yes". ```php v::yes()->validate('Y'); // true v::yes()->validate('Yea'); // true v::yes()->validate('Yeah'); // true v::yes()->validate('Yep'); // true v::yes()->validate('Yes'); // true ``` This rule is case insensitive. If `$locale` is `TRUE`, it will use the value of [nl_langinfo][] with `YESEXPR` constant, meaning that it will validate the input using your current location: ```php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'pt_BR'); v::yes(true)->validate('Sim'); // true ``` Be careful when using `$locale` as `TRUE` because the it's very permissive: ```php v::yes(true)->validate('Yydoesnotmatter'); // true ``` Besides that, with `$locale` as `TRUE` it will consider any character starting with "Y" as valid: ```php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU'); v::yes(true)->validate('Yes'); // true ``` ## Categorization - Booleans ## Changelog Version | Description --------|------------- 0.7.0 | Created *** See also: - [BoolType](BoolType.md) - [BoolVal](BoolVal.md) - [No](No.md) [nl_langinfo]: http://php.net/nl_langinfo
