Validate Contact Information

In the first part of this tutorial, you've created a simple web application that allows you to manage companies and contacts. You can add, edit or delete companies and contacts through HTML forms. These are basic features that you will complete in this section of the tutorial (implementing validation in your pages).

In this section, you will add the following features to your Contact Management Application:

• Verifying if the texts entered in the contact e-mail and phone number text boxes are correct.
• Deleting the contacts related to a company, when the company is removed.
• Making sure that the company for which you are adding a contact still exists.

If you have the MX Kollection 3 bundle installed, then you have all the needed tools. Otherwise, the following separate products should be installed on your computer in order to complete this tutorial section:

• MX Form Validation

This section contains the following topics:

• Check e-mail and phone: Validate Form
