You mean there was an article about QuickForm in an Italian article ? Cool ! :) Any url ? Usually, you validate your form once it is built. So basically you do: 1. new HTML_QuickForm 2. set the defaults 3. add the elements 4. validate 5. if validate ok, do something (ie. update db, then header('Location:...')) 6. otherwise display() 3 can come before 2 if you prefer (me not). There are a few examples in the docs/ directory Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
