NYCPHP Meetup

[Jeff Siegel]

For starters see: 
http://education.nyphp.org/phundamentals/PH_storingretrieving.php

You'll probably also want to use some regular expressions with 
http://php.net/preg_match

You should also check out "PHP Cookbook" - there are some "recipes" 
dealing with input validation -  and there is a section in "Web Database 
Applications with PHP and MySQL" (Williams/Lane...this is an Oreilly 
book) on validating input.
