<?php
abstract class AbstractValidator
{
    private $_args;

    protected const ALLOWED_VALUES = [];

    public function __construct(array $args)
    {
        $this->_args = $args;
    }

    public function isValid(): bool
    {
        foreach ($this->_args as $value)
            if (!in_array(static::ALLOWED_VALUES, $value))
                return false;
        return true;

}

class NamesValidator extends AbstractValidator
{
    protected const ALLOWED_VALUES = [
