form validation

[Anon]

In order to validate a form I'm using a php program that calls itself - this program also has code which remembers the correctly filled in fields.

My problem is that I would like to use an external based perl program in order to allow the form details to be e-mailed to me. But I can't do use this because, within the form tag, the action field must equal the name of my php program in order to validate my form.

Is there a solution here are am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks for any help.

The only solutions I see is to

1. Validate the form within the CGI
2. eMail the form data with the PHP-mail-command (it is much more easier then configure any external CGI-program... )
