The "register_globals" setting can be easy adjusted in the php.ini config file
and would probably be a good place to start.
If you're only validating your information with Javascript, that's not very
reliable since it can be turned on and off on the client PC and you can't
control what the user is going to send back. At least a couple other people
suggested using PHP to validate the information. That way you can process the
information at the server consistently and can control how the information is
formatted and what you do with it. Javascript is not very reliable in hat regard
and shouldn't be used exclusively.
