Ok basically on click of any anchor tag this ajax script calls a php
script called sessions.php
//data
var data = 'do=update';
//run ajax
$.ajax({
//post rather than get (default)
type: "POST",
//pass to php script
url: "/php-bin/sessions.php",
//send data
data: data,
//data type
dataType: 'json',
//timeout
timeout: 5000,
//cache
cache: true,
//success function
success:
//result function
function(result){
//if result.error
if(result.error)
{
//redirect
location.href=result.redirect;
}
},
//error function
error:
//error function
function(){
//load facebox internal error
faceboxURL('php-bin/alert.php?do=internalError');
}
});//ajax
It posts 'do=update' as data to the php script which selects the
correct php switch.
The php script then checks if the user is logged in and updates the
users timestamp. All session data is stored in a mysql database.
The datatype returned is in a json array.
So on success the ajax checks the array value 'result.error' and if
set to true it currently redirects the user to the 'result.location'
value which is defined in the json array.
In other words... if the user was not found or their session has
expired it redirects the user to the location set in the php script as
they need to be authenticated to use the site.
However this means that the anchor tag is only checking user data.
What about its original function which is also an ajax call?
I thought i might be able to add the second ajax call as an else
statement to the if(result.error) statement.
In other words... if the user is authenticated and the timestamp was
updated run the origianl anchor tag function (which is also an ajax
call)
At the moment the two ajax calls run at the same time which is fine
except the second ajax is used to load content to the page. The first
ajax call completes half way through the second ajax call cycle.
In other words... if the user was not found or their session has
expired the second ajax still loads content to the page but gets cut
off half way through loading while the first one is redirecting.
This is ok but it is scrappy looking to see the page trying to load
content into a div (second ajax) while the first is redirecting.
I hope i havn't lost you. I've tried to explain as clearly as i can.
