The utility of this class is insufficient.
1) The list of allowed characters is hardcoded. This is a problem for
non-english charset encodings like ISO-8859-2 or UTF-8
2) The validation alghoritm is very inefficient:
a) strlen(..) used every loop iteration (slows down entire code)
b) there is a much faster (and needs much less coding) one liner solution:
preg_match('~^[a-z0-9]$~i, $string),
or even better (faster):
ctype_alnum($string)
