hello

I have two basic requests/questions.

1. Where can i find a simple form validation script that will not allow users to type certain words into a form and if they do are redirected to another page or are prompted by an alert box ( i know this can be done in javascript but i would prefer php).

2. Where can i find a simple script that will set a limit to how many characters/words a person can type into a form and as they type each character/word there will be a little text message below saying:

Characters Left: 200

Again these can be done in javascript but i would prefer php. If the answer to this is blatently obvious then i am sorry for stupidness

the 2nd can not be done in php as php is a serverside language and what you want requires something to run on the client side. so javascript is necessary here.

as for the first, check the form validation categories on hotscripts.

You could use maxlength="200" that will not let them type more than 200 characters in the textarea.
