Validation in PHP
1. Validation in PHP
Validation is a process by which we can prevent erroneous/incorrect data in the
form/server. To ensure valid data is collected, we apply a set of validations to data we
collect. Validation is a set of rules that you apply to the data you collect. It is very essential
to have the input to your form validated before taking the form submission data for further
processing. When there are many fields in the form, the PHP validation script becomes too
complex. Make sure you make it a habit to validate all your web pages before publishing.
When you validate web pages or a web form using a validation process, you simply check
the content of the code to ensure it is valid and free from errors.
Code
<?php
$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("sunderdeep",$con);
@$a=$_POST['text_name'];
@$b=$_POST['text_mobile'];
@$c=$_POST['text_email'];
@$d=$_POST['text_user'];
@$e=$_POST['text_pass'];
@$f=$_POST['text_repass'];
if(@$_POST['insert'])
{
//echo $sql1="insert into emp values('$a','$b','$c','$d','$e','$f')";
//mysql_query($sql1);
echo "Your Data Successfully Saved";
}
?>
