How would I go about implementing a signup form using the MVC pattern for a website (I'm using PHP)?

I think the controller should receive the POST data initially. Then probably some interation with the model might need to take place (if the user successfully signs up). Then I think the signup form view would be called, and a value would be passed in saying whether or not the signup was successful.

Stuff I need help with:

Where do I do input validation (ie. proper email address formatting)? How do I check to make sure the username is unique?
Is the rest of my description alright?
