hi joyce, i would suggest you use PHP for the same...even client side validation using javascript could help...but if you need to compare with databases..you cud use php itself and pass the parameters to the same page ($PHP_SELF) and get things working... also if you wish to stick to PERL...what you cud do is call perl script (with data as command line parameters) in PHP using exec command in which you have an option of not only calling a script...but also fetching the output of the program.. to choose the best option is upto you so its you to decide :-)
hope this helps... regs, Sachin Balsekar.. /** There's always more than one way to do something.. **/ 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.
