validation of input data in php - javascript
<p>I want to validate the data that the user enters in a form. I have only a username and two fields for the password. My first question is that I check the data with javascript and it works fine, but i want to check the data with php too incase javascript is not working. In case the javascript is not working the data will be checked from the php code, but my problem is that if javascript is working then the data will be checked from javascript and php too. Is this fine? Is there any way to avoid checking with php when the input data are checked by javascript? Also I am checking the inputs(username and password) for the number of characters, for characters(i don't permit special characters, only "_", "." numbers and letters in order to avoid sql injection) - how does it sound to you? Do you have any other suggestion for better validation?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance. </p>
