Comments on: PHP Tip: Handling Form Data

Using a jQuery plugin to ‘validate’ form data would mean that you are depending upon the client side to validate itself. Which is hardly secure at all.

You should think of it this way:

Client side validation, like a jQuery plug in, is a nice to have
Server side validation, like with PHP, is a must have.

If you just assume that everyone will be sending you valid data you are opening yourself up to possible cross site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
