PHP - Validation & Thread

Add validation that checks:

$title and $message both have a minimum length of 3.

title has a maximum length of 32 characters.

$message has a maximum length of 52 characters.

If any of the three validation rules fail, print a status of 432 and an error message of what is wrong with the user input. The JSON response should look like:

{status: 432, error: title field is too short} 

If the user submitted a successful post, save the record using the provided Thread class. Set the timeposted set to when the item was submitted. Make the thread visible as soon as its submitted. Print a status code of 200. The JSON response should look like:

{status: 200} 

Add your code to newthread.php. Test your script by running:

php newthread.php "My Title Here" "My Message here" 

ALSO convert all urls in the $message to HTML links and store the new result as message_html using the provided Thread class.

HINT: You'll need to modify the provided Thread class.
