eval is how I do it as well, although there might be a
more advanced way of doing this.

It probably goes without saying that you should try
really hard to validate the incoming data, not just to
make sure the format is correct (an integer field is a
number, etc) but that you check the database restricts
as well for things like uniqueness, etc.  You can use
data::formvalidator to write custom validator
callbacks for things like that.  Just making sure the
email looks like an email isn't enough.
