If I need to retrieve a piece of data from my backend database and feed it into my eValid script, how do I do that?

The best solution for this is to write a simple intermediate page that brings out the values from your backend database into the foreground, that is, onto the web page.

Once you have the values you want showing in this intermediate page, eValid can validate them in the usual way.

[Architecturally, what is being said here is that eValid can only validate database content when that content is visible in a form that eValid knows about, which is as a web page of some kind. There are too many different kinds of database systems and too many different access mechanisms to try to generalize them into a command set for eValid. It is better to bridge the gap with an HTML interface page -- and a lot less work in the long run.]
