Send with jQuery and validate with PHP

[waldette]

Hello all.

 

I have a problem with my module. I do a form with only one input where the client put the phone number.

 

I need to validate this phone with a external bussiness API, so return TRUE if it's correct and registered. If this number it's correct the form change asking for a PIN number sended to the phone.

 

How can i do it? How can i send the phone with jQuery and receibe TRUE or FALSE for show the new form or not?

 

I dont know if i explain it right.. :S

 

Thanks!

what kind of api you've got? im asking because it is necessary question in this case.

how you want to call to the external scripts?

Is a bussiness that send you a message to mobile if you have points for apply a discount with them. I dont analize this API yet, but i know that return TRUE or FALSE when you call the function.

 

Example:

 

$client = new SoapClient(NULL, array('uri' => self::$URL_API, 'location' => self::$URL_API.'/api/index.php'));  
$salida=$client->oo_request_pincode($_POST['connect_ole'], $_POST['nMobil'], $cart->getOrderTotal(true, Cart::BOTH));

 

this method return TRUE if its OK and then i can proceed with the next form, where the client put the PIN code sended to phone.

 

Ah, i have a form like this:

 

$(".button").click(function() {
var phone = $("input#phone").val();
$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "modules/olepoints/bin/process.php",
  data: phone,
  success: function() {
...

hello

 

sorry for late reply i was offline, now im back

 

so you press the 'button' then the code do the AJAX call to the modules/olepoints/bin/process.php file.

PHP script that you've got returns false / true. If return value is "true" - create a simple echo "1"; if "false" - echo "0";

 

then in the javascript you have access to the "echo" value, for example via "data" variable:

success: function(data) {
alert(data);
}

 

now you can check the data value:

if data == 1 - make another AJAX call to script

if data == 0 - false

wooow, its so easy!! ^^

 

Only one question, the "data" take this name or need assign one depends on anything?

 

I dont know if i explain right. Mmmmm.... if i have data: phone, dont affect to this function(data)... right?
