    primarykey
    data
    text
    <p>In my document I have this script:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type:"POST",url:"ajax.php",data:data, success: function() { //onsuccess }, error: function() { //onerror } }); </code></pre> <p>How can I, in the document <code>ajax.php</code>, deliberately throw an error? Is it sufficient to just throw an 400 HTTP Status Code or something? (And if so, is 400 the right one?)</p> <p>Why I'm asking is that I want to use this to submit a form to the server, and if a field isn't filled out properly I want to alert the user through the error parameter in <code>$.ajax</code>. I know I could do this using javascript in the first place, but I'm hoping I could do it this way (so I don't have to write the verification two times). <strong>But of course by doing it this way, I can't separate the different fields from the other.</strong></p> <p>Based on what I want to use it for, <strong>can I somehow throw a "custom error"</strong>, so if the field <code>name</code> hasn't been filled out properly, it returns the name of the field (i.e. <code>name</code>). Is it sufficient to do something like this:</p> <p>In ajax.php:</p> <pre><code>if (isFilledOutProperly($name) == false) { echo "name"; } else { echo "success"; } </code></pre> <p>And: </p> <pre><code>success: function(data) { if (data == 'name') { //error } else { //success } }, </code></pre> <p>I may be on the wrong track here, but if someone have a better suggestion on how I can do this, please tell me. Thanks!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
