The most compelling reason aside form being more
maintainable, is that drupal forms api implements cross-site scripting
vulnerability protections that may not have been taken care of in the original
code.
Dave
Gang,
I've red-flagged for a potential client (abandoned by
former Drupal developer) an event registration page on their site that uses an
html form to deliver some variables to a Paypal page. Looks like the code came
from a Paypal help page.
I'm proposing using a combination of the signup
and signup_pay modules to handle this functionality. I'd like to give the client
a little more detail on why it is bad to use regular html forms in addition to
"It's more stable," or "it's the Drupal way." On the "It's more stable"
argument, I need some more detail on why and what are some bad things that
can.
Any help would be most
appreciated.
Thanks,
Shai
