Hi Galen, there are several PEAR classes that aid form building, processing and so on. Take a look at the HTML_QuickForm and HTML_QuickForm_Controller classes: http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm_Controller There is also a Validate class for checking all types of input values: http://pear.php.net/package/Validate Of course it will take some time to get into it but will save you a lot of time in future projects.
