Re: [fw-mvc] How to deal with Zend_Form validation errors on a form called via AJAX?

take look at the line 2106 IN Zend_Form
/**
* Process submitted AJAX data
*
* Checks if provided $data is valid, via {@link isValidPartial()}. If so,
* it returns JSON-encoded boolean true. If not, it returns JSON-encoded
* error messages (as returned by {@link getMessages()}).
*
* @param array $data
* @return string JSON-encoded boolean true or error messages
*/
public function processAjax(array $data)
{
require_once 'Zend/Json.php';
if ($this->isValidPartial($data)) {
return Zend_Json::encode(true);
}
$messages = $this->getMessages();
return Zend_Json::encode($messages);
}
