Is it possible to add Server Validation to the Search Results page

I have a DataAssist Results page with a Search form on it, and I want to validate search values such as phone number.

Client Validation does not work, so is there a way to use Server validation since the page uses Get and not Post.

you would need to add URL Variables for each form element, including the submit button to the bindings panel.

go to the bindings panel, click the plus button and select "URL Variable"

Use the form element name for the URL Variable name, repeat this for each form element you wish to validate, including the submit button.

NOTE: PHP is case sensitive. when adding the URL Variable bindings make sure to use the same case as the form elements names.


Once the URL Variables are created, you can use them as the Server Variables in the Server Validation behavior.

for the trigger, click the lightning bolt and select the submit button URL Variable binding

Thank you.

I tried it and if I enter in a bad phone value I get the following message. I suspect the page keeps getting called over and over when there is an error.

This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at orders_Results.php?S_OrderID=&S_OrderDate=&S_OrderDate_2=&S_OrderEmail=&S_OrderShipName=&S_OrderPhone=805&Search.x=36&Search.y=12&Search=Search has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

This is the server validation, I tried using Search.X with the same results.

<?php
if (($_GET['Search'] != "")) {
$WAFV_Redirect = "orders_Results.php";
$_SESSION['WAVT_ordersResults_500_Errors'] = "";
if ($WAFV_Redirect == "") {
$WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
}
$WAFV_Errors = "";
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidatePN($_GET['S_OrderPhone'] . "",false,true,false,5);

if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {
PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"ordersResults_500");
}
}
?>

Change this code:

if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {

PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"ordersResu lts_500");

}

to:

if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {

if(isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "") {

        // array of QS variable names to remove //   

        $arrRemove = array();

        $arrRemove[] = "Search";

        $arrRemove[] = "Search_x";

        $arrRemove[] = "Search_y";

        $arrRemove[] = "Search.x";

        $arrRemove[] = "Search.y";



        

        $arrQS = explode("&", $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]);

        foreach($arrQS as $k => $v) {

            $arrVar = explode("=", $v);

            if(in_array($arrVar[0], $arrRemove)) unset($arrQS[$k]);

        }

        if(sizeof($arrQS) > 0) {

            $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = "?".implode("&", $arrQS);

        } 

}            

PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"ordersResu lts_500");

}

Thank you that worked great!!!

Now the only issue is if create an error, it displays that show if error even if I do another search without errors.

What do I add to clear the server errors, once I hit the search button again?

add the following code after the </html> tag:

<?php if(isset($_SESSION['WAVT_ordersResults_500_Errors'])) unset($_SESSION['WAVT_ordersResults_500_Errors']); ?>

Thank you for all your help!

you're welcome.
