It does have a role to play but more in the "fuzzy stuff" to do with keeping visitors/customers (happy) by providing a speedy site. If you can do client side verification, then that's great because it means the visitor/customer doesn't have to sit there waiting for the server to reject their input, which equals one unhappy bunny
But you should always, always program/script with
total mistrust of any data that comes to the server from the wild. No assumptions. That includes things like the URL (can be modified) and the path to a script (e.g. what happens if script (a) is called direct?).
