Server Validations error handling

Server Validations error handling

I have a single page application built with jquery that loads about 20 pages on demand via jquery’s AJAX functions (content inserted into DOM without page refresh).

So far, I am able to create insert pages in its own file (separate from form).
Using jquery I am able to serialize form content and post it to the insert php file while preventing default action (page reload, etc.)…works quit well.
I have also chained functions such as: server validation, insert-1, insert-2 (this works well too). When validation fails...insert-1, etc do not run (which is correct).

However, the problem is error handling.
For server validations, I am not able to redirect on failure as that causes index.php to reload with it’s default view/state (tried it and it doesn’t work anyway). I can reload my form page (form.php) with AJAX into index.php where Submit was pressed which includes Validation Show If, but errors are not shown.

How are Server Validations errors/invalidations handled? Are they captured to a variable? Are you passing a URI to the redirect page?
What are my options here?

Running: DataBridge 1.08

Thanks,
Brent

the validation errors are stored to a session variable. If you look at the validation code, you should be able to see the session name.

On error, the header function is used to redirect, if you don't enter a redirect page, it uses the PHP $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable to redirect to the current page.

Thanks Jason...

Is there a way of returning the Validations session variable to jquery...as json data perhaps?
$_SESSION['WAVT_pagename_359_Errors']

Page redirects before echo...so that does not seem to work.

sure, it's possible, but would require hand coding to accomplish that we do not support.

Ya, I was figuring that would be the case. So let met ask you this...
I am on day 12 of testing this software and am trying to wire up my front end (jquery: asynchronous server/database calls). Is this software capable of handling this work with 'some' hand coding or am I barking up the wrong tree ;-) I don't want to waste my time recoding everything.

Has anybody else been successful in using it like this?

Thanks,
Brent

i'll be honest, i haven't tried using Data Bridge for asynchronous server/database calls like you are talking about, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with some hand coding.
