% Is there a distinct advantage to doing form validation / error checking on
% the server side using PHP? That's how I've always done it because I know
1) I hate JavaScript.
2) Don't trust anything coming from a client.
You should be validating on the server anyway -- empty fields and all --
and so there's no need to do it twice especially when it eliminates
surfers who don't use JS.
HTH & HAND & Happy New Year
