You could do it in the controller action the form posts to. Or, if you want to keep your controller skinny you could possibly create a model not associated with a database table with validation methods and call object.valid? from the controller but never call object.save You could alternately create a new class that would validate the form data but that may or may not take more work on your part. There are a number of approaches that might work.
Personally, if the validations would be quick and simple (like checking the length of a field) then I would do it from the controller, if I knew I would have to use more than, say, 10 lines, or the validations are non-trivial, I would use a model/class. If you need a more specific guidance you should possibly paste the form and provide additional details as to what you're trying to accomplish.
