Re: Validating form input data

You may want to take a look at this forms generation and validation
class that shows you how to do that. Additionally it generates your
forms with Javascript to validate the form also on the client site,
avoiding unnecessary server round trips just to tell the user the form
has invalid fields.

And what happens if someone has javascript turned off?

I would assume the brunt of Manuel's class is its server-side
checking. The javascript is, as he said, an *addition*, an addition
which, when javascript happens to be available, obviates the need for a
round trip to the server just to say some field data was unacceptable.
Sounds good to me.

NEVER rely on client side validation!

Fair enough, bears repeating.
