Form Validation Data, where should I put it?

VinceGledhill · April 25, 2011

Hi people, thanks for your wonderful input so far, I am really learning with your help.

I have been watching the following video teaching me some PHP and am looking at the form validation data.

Please could you tell me where I would put this into the following file for it to work.

You'd validate your data just before you save it in the database. So add it in between the lines if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { and //connect to database
