Answer 1

Use some kind of javascript..

<form method="post" action="credit.php" onsubmit="validateForm()">
<input type="text" name="pv" id="pv"> <br />
....
</form>


<script type="text/javascript">
function validateForm() {
  var result =  /^\d+$/.test(document.getElementById('pv').value);
  return result

}
</script>

If your onsubmit returns false, the form won't go. If it returns true, the form will submit.
