If you'll remember way back in last month (okay, so it's not that far back - it just seems that way) when Zend.com had an article that talked about some good practices when dealing with a CMS for your site. These were things like: "never, ever trust the user" and "never bite off more than you can chew".

Well, this morning, they have the second part of this article, Intelligent CMS: Web Form Best Practices (Part 2). In this piece, they build on the ideas that they put out there in the previous article, and give you a good idea of how things should be laid out to work the most efficiently. (Obviously, this is one person's opinion of efficient, but it's better than nothing...)

they give you the table layouts, some sample code to help abstract the form creation, and some admin code to tie it all together and make upkeep a snap. There's so many CMS systems out there, that it's usually a better option to check out the other options out there before diving in and making your own.
