Been creating a much simpler PHP replacement for my old jscript based shopping cart. It is possible using self post to do everything in PHP, even validate data and conditionally submit to https with only a few lines of code but was wondering if any validation is really necessary.
Most sites do it but is there any point in having mandatory address fields like address 1 and postcode and showing popup if not filled in when you can't check that what they have put in is right anyway? An x in every box would work. May as well have a single address box and submit to Worldpay without validation. Worldpay itself only has a single billing address box so I can post directly without concatenating everthing, much simpler.
Any opinions on that? Cheers.
