DevShed must be on a roll this week - this is the second PHP article that they've posted. Maybe they're just finally wising up (heh)...anyway, the latest post from DevShed is about Building An Extensible Form Validator Class. Next to the error handling (see yesterday), form validation is one of the biggest plauges that PHP developers face. Forms are the point where any yahoo with a keyboard can break things severly if they don't know what they're doing (or if the app is written wrong). In this article they give you all the thought behind and the code behind a nice, working validatior. While theirs is customized for the credit card info that they are trying to get, they still bring up some great points about how to make sure that users don't break things too easily (important methods/functions, error lists, etc..). If you've been having headaches on form validation lately, I'd suggest checking this one out.

Over on the SitePoint WebmasterBase this morning, they have a new review of PHPed, PHP editing software created by Nusphere. The author is the founder of DevArticles.com and writes a pretty good review. I'm not going to give away the rating that he gave it, but lets just say nobody's perfect...

And, last but not least, to go anlong with the new PHP Developer's Network, the three of us sites are going to have "unified forums" so that we can better serve you guys. Why have three separate sources for help that some people may never even go to when you can have everyone helping out in the same place..so, if you've got that question that just doesn't seem to have an answer, hop over to the forums and ask away!
