My method counts the number of times an error occurs.

I have a feeling my snippet isn’t the best practice way of doing this. So when one of the validation methods fails I want to stop the method.

public static function validate($  data) {     $  errors = [         'settings_mismatch' => 0,         'name_not_set' => 0,         'price_not_set' => 0,         'payment_qty_not_set' => 0,         'payment_qty_zero' => 0,         'payment_unit_not_set' => 0,         'payment_unit_not_allowed' => 0     ];       if (!isset($  data['name'])) {         $  errors['name_not_set']++;         return $  errors;     }      if (!isset($  data['price'])) {         $  errors['price_not_set']++;         return $  errors;     }      if (!isset($  data['payment_qty'])) {         $  errors['payment_qty_not_set']++;         return $  errors;     }      if (!isset($  data['payment_unit'])) {         $  errors['payment_unit_not_set']++;         return $  errors;     }      if (isset($  data['payment_qty']) && $  data['payment_qty'] == 0) {         $  errors['payment_qty_zero']++;         return $  errors;     }      if (isset($  data['payment_unit']) && !in_array(strtolower(self::transformUnit($  data)['payment_unit']), self::$  allowedMeasurements)) {         $  errors['payment_unit_not_allowed']++;         return $  errors;     }      return $  errors; }
