So I wrote a data analysis tool in PHP/SQL recently. It works, but coming from a C/C++ background I'm in mirky waters. Is there anything like Design Patterns for server side coding? I feel like I'm doing the PHP form rendering/processing ass backwards, but don't know the better way. What's a /prog/ to do?

Design patterns are applicable in a web environment as much as anywhere else. If you're not using a framework with some concept of form validation in it's worth your time to write something yourself. Even something simple like a way to check fields against regex is enough in most cases.
