Sorry for my ignorance here. :) Yes, but you need to study regular expressions to know how to validate each type of field. You may also want tu try this Form Generation and Validation PHP class that makes it easy to generate forms with several types of built-in validation types generating Javascript to validate the fields on the client side (browser) before the forms are submitted and also validating the fields on the server side in PHP with the functions of the class itself. http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/1 Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
