Data validation helps prevent incomplete, incorrectly formatted or otherwise invalid data from being saved. PHPRunner provides several ways to validate user input, from built-in field rules to custom JavaScript and server-side validation.
The right approach depends on what you need to check. Simple requirements such as mandatory fields can usually be handled with built-in validation. More complex business rules may require custom code.

This article shows how to add such functionality to your PHPRunner or ASPRunner application.
