[Resolved] Vaildating a form: Javascript or PHP?

[flk]

I'm working on website that utilizes several forms and was wondering what would be more eficient to use when validating user data javascript or php? I'm relatively new to both of languages so I'm not sure which would be better to use in this case.

If you have to pick one, php. Both is good though. Using javascript means that the user gets immediate feedback and doesn't have to wait for a page reload. However javascript can be disabled or bypassed, so even if you use it for form validation you still have to do another round of validation on the server with php.

Thanks. I didn't think about the potential of user having javascript disabled. Appreciate feedback.
