Regexp::Common and Params::Validate are a nice place to look. Oh, ikegami beat me to the first but the second can be quite nice too depending on what you're doing.	[reply]

I'm doing a huge application a user needs to fill out, its separated in to "steps" or 6 different scripts. All I have left to do its make sure its more secure than it is now. I have also waited till the last minute to do my validation. I have Client-Side validation using a nice javascript framework, but no server-side validation (which really bad i know :), thats what im here to do!) Thanks for those two posts, I will look at that stuff.	[reply]

When I did some past PHP programming I had used a bit of Regular Expressions". Are they they same between Perl and PHP?	[reply]

I think PHP uses pcre, which I think is a subset of Perl regexps. At the very least, they'd be similar. You can double check for differences in perlre. Also, there's a bunch of Regexp::Common::... modules for commonly used regexps on CPAN.	[reply]

Does anyone know of any other validation modules? I'm having a hard time understanding some of these.	[reply]

Although you say your application is nearly in place, except for the server side form data validation, I would have urged from the start your use of CGI::FormBuilder, which integrates data validation into the handling of a form in a simple object oriented tool for building, rendering and validating a cgi web form. Check it out next time. It makes for much shorter and cleaner code, generally. -- Hugh if( $lal && $lol ) { $life++; }	[reply]
