I have a form in php where I have some fields (input) and a submit button to send. One of the inputs I make the check in javascript if it has or does not equal link, if it has equal link it should not let the save button. But when I click the submit button it sends the form anyway. I want that when the validation of the link is wrong it does not send, I have to cause that after the validation it leaves or it does not save.
Below is my javascript code where in ajax I place a validation:
function repeatLink(){
var link = $("#link").val();
if (link === null || link === '') {
$("#link").addClass("input-required");
}
$.ajax({
url: './model/functions/link_repeat.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {link: link},
success: function (data) {
if (data === 'true') {
$("#link").addClass("input-required");
$("#alert-link").append("<span style='color:red'><b>Esse link já existe! Escolha outro!</b></span>");
return false;
}
$("#more").submit()
}
});
}
$link = $_POST['link'];
$stmtLink = $conn->prepare("SELECT link FROM menu WHERE link LIKE :link");
$stmtLink->bindValue(':link', $link);
if($stmtLink->execute() && $stmtLink->rowCount() > 0){
echo 'true';
}else{
echo'false';
}
