Form validations

[Irfan Khan]

Dear members,

I wanted to validate the form which contains the name, phone number, address,email, etc..,

I have developed and tested it if we give any character it’s saving to database table.so I wanted to validate the every field for example

In name field it should take only alphabets, 

And in phone number field it should take only numbers like 

Can any one please guide me which is best practice to perform 

Thanks in advance

Hi.

Usually you validate user input and by using Forms or ModelForms.
