Using only PHP (i.e. no JS), how do you redirect a Zend form in a fancybox iframe to its parent page, only if the form was successful? For instance, I set setAttrib(“target”,”_parent”) in the Zend form, but it forces the submit action to redirect on the iframe, and not the parent page. I want it to return to the parent page only if the submit action is unsuccessful. If login is not successful, it stays on the fancybox iframe successfully displaying error message. I am using Zend Framework. Here are some code:<\/p>\n

Login.php<\/p>\n

class Application_Form_Login extends Zend_Form\n{\n\n    public function init()\n    {\n        $this->setAction('\/auth\/login')\n             ->setAttrib('id', 'login_form')\n             ->setAttrib('target', '_parent')\n             ->setName('login_form')\n                     ->setMethod('post');\n\n    ----->added all elements here\n    }\n\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
loginAction (inside authController.php)<\/p>\n
    public function loginAction()\n    {\n\n        $request = $this->getRequest();\n        $form = new Application_Form_Login();\n        \/\/$form->setAttrib('target','_parent');\n        \/\/$this->view->login_form = $form;\n\n        if($request->isPost()){\n            if($form->isValid($request->getPost())){\n                $data = $form->getValues();\n\n                if ($this->_processLogin($data)) {\n                    \/\/ We're authenticated! Redirect to the home page\n                    $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();\n                    $id = $auth->getIdentity()->id;\n                        \/\/this is where I need some logic to redirect on parent page only if successful login \n                    $this->_redirect('\/user\/'.$id.'\/home');  \n                } else {\n                    $form->setAttrib('target','_self');\n                    $this->view->errorMessage = \"Invalid credentials. Try again\";\n                    $form = new Application_Form_Login();\n                    $this->view->login_form = $form;\n                }         \n            }else{\n                    $form->setAttrib('target','_self');\n                    $this->view->errorMessage = \"Can't be empty. Please try again.\";\n                    $form = new Application_Form_Login();\n                    $this->view->login_form = $form;\n            }\n        }else{\n        }\n\n        $this->view->login_form = $form;\n    } \n<\/code><\/pre>\n

  1. \n
    Here’s what I ended up doing:<\/p>\n
     regular stuff here, elements, etc\n\n\n\n\n\n$(document).ready(function() {\n\n    $('#loginbtn').live('click',function(event){\n\n        var em = $(\"#useremail\").val();\n        var pwd = $(\"#userpassword\").val();\n\n        $.ajax({\n            type: \"POST\",\n            dataType: 'json',\n            url: \"\/auth\/login\",\n            data: { email: em, password: pwd },\n            success: function(result){\n                if(result.msg == \"success\"){\n                    window.location = \"\/user\/\" + result.id + \"\/home\";\n                }else{\n                    $(\".errormsg\").html(result.msg);\n                }\n            },\n            error: function(jqXHR, exception) {\n                if (jqXHR.status === 0) {\n                    alert('Not connect.\\n Verify Network.');\n                } else if (jqXHR.status == 404) {\n                    alert('Requested page not found. [404]');\n                } else if (jqXHR.status == 500) {\n                    alert('Internal Server Error [500].');\n                } else if (exception === 'parsererror') {\n                    alert('Requested JSON parse failed.');\n                } else if (exception === 'timeout') {\n                    alert('Time out error.');\n                } else if (exception === 'abort') {\n                    alert('Ajax request aborted.');\n                } else {\n                    alert('Uncaught Error.\\n' + jqXHR.responseText);\n                }\n            }       \n        });\n\n        return false;\n    });\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    And in my controller action:<\/p>\n
    public function loginAction()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    {<\/p>\n
        $this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();\n        $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(TRUE); \/\/ suppress auto-rendering and displaying a view\n    $data['email'] = $_POST['email'];\n    $data['password'] = $_POST['password'];\n\n    if ($this->_processLogin($data)) {\n            \/\/ We're authenticated!\n        $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();\n        $id = $auth->getIdentity()->id;\n        echo Zend_Json::encode(array('msg' => 'success', 'id' => $id));\n    } else {\n                  $this->_helper->json(array('msg' => 'Invalid credentials. Try again'));\n        } \n\n    }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    I think you can’t do such thing.<\/p>\n
    The javascript would reference the parent page in that case. The server side has no way to set in the headers those instructions.<\/p>\n
    The best you can do is to redirect the page to another one with the javascript instruction referencing the parent page.<\/p>\n
    Using the target attribute it will redirect in any case.<\/p>\n
    Example:<\/p>\n
    AuthController.php<\/strong><\/p>\n
    public function loginAction() {\n    \/\/ ...\n    if(\/* is password correct *\/) {\n        \/\/...\n        \/\/ After a successfull login, just render the view\n        $this->render('auth\/redirect.phtml');\n    }\n    \/\/ ...\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    redirect.phtml<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \n\n    parent.window.location.href = '';\n\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
