Re: Simple Validation using PHP

[Paul Holm <pholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

If you are validating against data on the i, couldn't you have a drop 
down list of possible values?  So if you are validating invoice type or 
store, then you just allow drop down lists with the valid entries that 
way the user can only select valid values?

If you list is large, you could use a type ahead approach as well.

THanks, Paul
