Hi Todino
Welcome to the list.
Yes, it is far better to do validation on the server side because, with
JS turned off, you don't get any form validation.
Regarding the button to do the job, an input type=submit or input
type=image will do the job for you.
Remember:

In most of my web sites, when a user submits form data, that data is usually

Don't know if this helps or not, but I stumbled across a standard-compliant,
server-side form validation tool caleld VDAEMON
(http://www.x-code.com/vdaemon_web_form_validation.php) that has so far
worked great for me. There is a free version for download, or you can buy
the Dreamweaver extension

Only one alert, at most, is useful (one could argue zero is better).

If you are an ASP coder and want to move to Linux then why not
use ASP.NET? It will be a much easier learning curve than PHP.
FYI: Many ASP.NET pages run on Mono [C# compiler for Linux]
including web services, and many DotNet apps run without modification.
