Hi all,
Ok... PHP is a server side scripting language but what about the
client side???
Can I use PHP on the client side as well (for example to validate some
form fields) or do I need to use something like JavaScript??? What are
the alternatives???
Thanks in advance!!!

Javascript is a client side language. This is what you need to 'validate'
form fields. It is my duty to remind you that server-side validation must
be performed whether or not you use any client-side validation.
You cannot use PHP on the client side; PHP runs on a server.

As long as your client is html-based (i.e. browser), javascript is the
only option. Running php on the client requires php to be installed
there (sounds logical, huh?), which is not the case for most clients.

In theory - yes. In practice - no.
To run PHP scripts in a browser it would require a plugin. In fact such
plugins exist, but they are more or less experimental and usually not
installed on any user machine.

There's only JS.

You can use AJAX (JavaScript). AJAX can send some string to php page
which return if form field is valid or invalid.

oh man! gosha, you propensity toward blanket, incorrect statements is even
more pronounced than my 'polemic needs'!!!
let's see, BESIDES javascript, there's vb script, tck/tl, java applets,
activex, etc., etc.
