Drupal: Custom Content Type validation

I've created a custom content type with CCK.

If I need to add some custom code for validating fields of this content type's record form, where do I add the code and which functions are best for this task?

To create your own module to implement form validation I suggest this method: create a new module for content type field validation in drupal

The easiest way would probably be hook_form_alter() and the #validation attribute on the form. You would of cause have to implement this in your own module.

The form api is what you use to validate, you'll be crafting your own validation function. I'm going to assume you are using D6

There's a less painful way: http://drupal.org/project/validation_api

This module lets you make php code or regex for any given field.

Hope this helps.
