AJAX Form Validation - Learn step by step PART - 4

7. Create a new file named allok.php, and add the following code to it: <?php

// clear any data saved in the session

session_start();

session_destroy();

?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<title>AJAX Form Validation</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<link href="validate.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</head>

<body>

Registration Successfull!<br />

<a href="index.php" title="Go back"><< Go back</a>

</body>

</html>

8. Create a file named validate.js. This file performs the client-side functionality, including the AJAX requests:

// holds an instance of XMLHttpRequest

var xmlHttp = createXmlHttpRequestObject();

// holds the remote server address

var serverAddress = "validate.php";

// when set to true, display detailed error messages

var showErrors = true;

// initialize the validation requests cache

var cache = new Array();

// creates an XMLHttpRequest instance

function createXmlHttpRequestObject()

{

// will store the reference to the XMLHttpRequest object

var xmlHttp;

// this should work for all browsers except IE6 and older

try

{

// try to create XMLHttpRequest object

xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

}

catch(e)

{

// assume IE6 or older

var XmlHttpVersions = new Array("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0",

"MSXML2.XMLHTTP.5.0",

"MSXML2.XMLHTTP.4.0",

"MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0",

"MSXML2.XMLHTTP",

"Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

// try every id until one works

for (var i=0; i<XmlHttpVersions.length && !xmlHttp; i++)

{

try

{

// try to create XMLHttpRequest object

xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject(XmlHttpVersions[i]);

}

catch (e) {} // ignore potential error

}

}

// return the created object or display an error message

if (!xmlHttp)

displayError("Error creating the XMLHttpRequest object.");

else

return xmlHttp;

}

// function that displays an error message

function displayError($message)

{

// ignore errors if showErrors is false

if (showErrors)

{

// turn error displaying Off

showErrors = false;

// display error message

alert("Error encountered: \n" + $message);

// retry validation after 10 seconds

setTimeout("validate();", 10000);

}

}

// the function handles the validation for any form field

function validate(inputValue, fieldID)

{

// only continue if xmlHttp isn't void

if (xmlHttp)

{

// if we received non-null parameters, we add them to cache in the

// form of the query string to be sent to the server for validation

if (fieldID)

{

// encode values for safely adding them to an HTTP request query string

inputValue = encodeURIComponent(inputValue);

fieldID = encodeURIComponent(fieldID);

// add the values to the queue

cache.push("inputValue=" + inputValue + "&fieldID=" + fieldID);

}

// try to connect to the server

try

{

// continue only if the XMLHttpRequest object isn't busy

// and the cache is not empty

if ((xmlHttp.readyState == 4 || xmlHttp.readyState == 0)

&& cache.length > 0)

{

// get a new set of parameters from the cache

var cacheEntry = cache.shift();

// make a server request to validate the extracted data

xmlHttp.open("POST", serverAddress, true);

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",

"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = handleRequestStateChange;

xmlHttp.send(cacheEntry);

}

}

catch (e)

{

// display an error when failing to connect to the server

displayError(e.toString());

}

}

}

// function that handles the HTTP response

function handleRequestStateChange()

{

// when readyState is 4, we read the server response

if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)

{

// continue only if HTTP status is "OK"

if (xmlHttp.status == 200)

{

try

{

// read the response from the server

readResponse();

}

catch(e)

{

// display error message

displayError(e.toString());

}

}

else

{

// display error message

displayError(xmlHttp.statusText);

}

}

}

// read server's response

function readResponse()

{

// retrieve the server's response

var response = xmlHttp.responseText;

// server error?

if (response.indexOf("ERRNO") >= 0

|| response.indexOf("error:") >= 0

|| response.length == 0)

throw(response.length == 0 ? "Server error." : response);

// get response in XML format (assume the response is valid XML)

responseXml = xmlHttp.responseXML;

// get the document element

xmlDoc = responseXml.documentElement;

result = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("result")[0].firstChild.data;

fieldID = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("fieldid")[0].firstChild.data;

// find the HTML element that displays the error

message = document.getElementById(fieldID + "Failed");

// show the error or hide the error

message.className = (result == "0") ? "error" : "hidden";

// call validate() again, in case there are values left in the cache

setTimeout("validate();", 500);

}

// sets focus on the first field of the form

function setFocus()

{

document.getElementById("txtUsername").focus();

}
