In my humble opinion, it doesn't make sense to break up the script that generates the form and the one that validates it. Its hard enough to maintain an application without having to worry about two scripts in two different languages for something as simple as presenting and validating a form.
You have access to all the form validation you should need using PHP. PHP supports both POSIX and Perl style regular expressions. You can find information about regular expressions in PHP at http://www.php.net If you are simply looking for an excuse to bring perl into a project, then you should consider rewriting your form with perl, unless you have some grudge against the poor soul who will have to maintain the code. ;-) - Johnathan Joyce Harris wrote: > I have a php form and I need to do some data validation either before > inserting data into the database or comparing data in a textfield to > data in the database.
