If the name attribute of the input tag would be like: "myChecks[]" for
all the n checkboxes then the result will come as an array, and u
could use in your script:
if (!$myValidator->isValid(count($sentArray))) {
echo "The number of selected checkboxes must be at least x and at most y";
} else {
//validate the contents of $sentArray and process its values
}
P.S. Don't write the custom validator unless the functionalities
provided cannot be achieved using the existing ones, because the
memory is still a limited resource nowadays and you might need it
somewhere else.
