How to do server side form validation

Hi,

I need to do server side form validation for a CMP. Up to now all my forms only required client side validation (required field, email field etc.) with fairly strait forward data processing using a PHP snippet (create, update etc.).

If possible any errors after validation - if found - should be displayed using ExtJs’s quick tips (the red bulbs next to fields indicating the fields in error). I had a look at the New User form of MODx but that shows errors in popup window.

Any info/help on how to implement this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

Do you know this site http://examples.extjs.eu/ ? It can be helpful for some features...

In ’examples’ (left hand, top tree) you have under "Forms" a "Displaying form submit errors" that might fit your goal or can give you an indication on how to do that...

Another one i found inteesting was under "Grid" : ’Displaying 1:n datas in QuickTips’

Maybe a bit of one and a bit of the other, and some salt and pepper in addition can help you to cook your own
Good luck
Cheers

Thanks! Great tip. Better get out the pots and pans and start cooking...
