pure PHP form validation

[Anon]

I'm new to PHP so did anybody knows is it possible to validate form fields without JavaScript but with using events like OnChange or OnBlur and how you can use DOM with it?

Onchange and Onblur are javascript functions.🙂

The only way to perform "pure" php validation is to do it on the POSTed data. You will want to do this anyway, because (a) users may have Javascript turned off in their browsers, and (b) createive (or, more likely, malicious) folks can post their own datastream to your page.

Errr, Vincent is true, OnBlur and OnChange are JavaScript events. Anywhat you do, php will ever work on the SERVER side, with stuff that has yet been submitted. The trick is, you have to check the following:
- That required fields are filled in:
if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['email'] && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['email'] != "")) {
// Ok, it's filled in
} else {
// Field is missing 🙁
}

• Test wether or not the content is valid, which you can do with RegEx, depending on what the field should look like, it'll be different for what info you want.

Hi...does anyone have a php form using validation that they refer me to? Would like to look at the code.
