Hey guys,
I need to add all the validation functionality to my site...
what is the best way to accomplish this? By that I mean, should I use a pre-packed solution and if so, which one?
\Best\

If you're already going with an existing solution, I doubt there's just a third party validating solution that can easily be tied in.
Here's what you need to look for, or implement yourself
1. Checking for magic_quotes_gpc
2. If you're expecting a certain result, make sure your data is one of the ones you're expecting.
3. Analyze input data by making sure it looks like what you want.. eg. is_int(), is_numeric() and perhaps use type casting to make it want you want
4. If entering into a database, always escape the string, to prevent sql injection
are the basics
