an editable page calls for atleast ajax.... validation for for basic validation on the form itself using html n js and then do implement server side( php here for you) validation before saving allowing the data to the database.....

For authorizations you can't go on front end only. you must have an authorization backend service and generate form in server side if you want to be strict or generate form with ajax and apply authorization on actions.

@robyn stick to design principles which lead you to good design. over engineering is as bad as code smells. having high standards usually leads you to over engineered solution. KISS (keep it simple and stupid) is a design best practice to prevent over engineering problems.

Remembering how some things are done... I'm quite forgetful so I sometimes confuse certain things or put them in the wrong place. Another challenge is trying to get a decent code

The problem is I have very high standards for myself, so it's almost impossible for me to make a code I'm proud of.

By my definition: A decent code is one that I'm proud of and that the community likes too (a good amount of likes, at least 30)
