It's hard to judge on a better way based only on this information - it
depends on! Basically your design seams to be sound.

However a good design is left to be defined by the developer him self, and
it is controlled by the requirements specification for the intended system.
To answer that question one has first to know the answer to the question
about the goal of the system.

For example lets assume you main goal is to have it up and running as fast
as possible - no matter what. Then any Q&D programming could be said to be a
better ay to do things. 


By this I am not saying that you in fact have done Q&D programming, but
rather I saying: "I have no f__king idea". :)

But to be a little bit more constructive: why don't you also let the script
that validates the data, also take responsibility to submit the data to the
database? This way you wont need to utilize any extra IPC, but could stay
within the scope of the very same script, as an extra bonus this might
reduce coupling and increasing cohesion for you.

But then again.. this does of course depends on your goals and what you done
so far.
