Re: Simple Validation using PHP

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

What's a good way to do simple validation against data contained on the i

execute a stored procedure when all I need is a simple true or false. I
have functions (implemented as procedures in a service program) that
returns what I want, but I'm having trouble executing that function from
PHP. I don't have a problem with a stored procedure that returns values or
a stored procedure that returns a result set.

Is there something special/different about functions?

Thanks!
