I think it is easier to do the validation on the client side, that is 
the way vtiger CRM is designed, but if you do go down this path, you 
could modify the Save.php to validate the error before the save() call, 
and if it is incorrect, redirect to EditView passing in the full 
contents of the $_REQUEST array you received in the Save.php along with 
an error message.
Note that this will not work with webservice interface.
