# GreaterThan Validator `Zend\Validator\GreaterThan` allows you to validate if a given value is greater than a minimum border value. > ### Only supports numbers > > `Zend\Validator\GreaterThan` supports only the validation of numbers. Strings > or dates can not be validated with this validator. ## Supported options The following options are supported for `Zend\Validator\GreaterThan`: - `inclusive`: Defines if the validation is inclusive of the minimum value, or exclusive. It defaults to `false`. - `min`: Sets the minimum allowed value. ## Basic usage To validate if a given value is greater than a defined minimum: ```php $valid = new Zend\Validator\GreaterThan(['min' => 10]); $value = 8; $return = $valid->isValid($value); // returns false ``` The above example returns `true` for all values which are greater than 10. ## Inclusive validation Sometimes it is useful to validate a value by including the minimum value. ```php $valid = new Zend\Validator\GreaterThan([ 'min' => 10, 'inclusive' => true, ]); $value = 10; $result = $valid->isValid($value); // returns true ``` The example is identical to our first example, with the exception that we included the minimum value. Now the value '10' is allowed and will return `true`.
