Displaying an Alertbox from PHP Controller class

[KSI]

Currently I'm in my controller and I have placed a check in the controller. Basically checking if the value of a particular field is 0 or not. Now if it is 0, I want to display an alert popup via my controller. To do this I've tried the following code:

public function status($status){ 
    if($this->input->post('id')){
        foreach($this->input->post('id') as $key => $id):
            $check_emirate = $this->listings_model->check_emirate($id);
            if($check_emirate->emirate == 0){
                echo "<script>alert('This card was not approved.');</script>";
            }else{
            $data=array('status'=>$status);  $updated=$this->listings_model->update($data,array(),$id); 
    }
        endforeach;     
    } 
    return true;
}

Now it is entering my if condition, but it doesnt show me the popup.

This is the AJAX call I'm making to enable this function:

$(".status").click(function(e) { chagestatus($(this)); }

function chagestatus(obj){ 
  if($('.chkbx').is(':checked') == true){
    $.ajax({
      type: "post",
      dataType: "json",
      async:false,
      url: "<?php echo site_url('listings/status'); ?>/"+obj.data('val'),
      data: $(".chkbx:checked").serialize(),
      success: function(result) {}
    });
  }
}

This is typically called a toast notification. For instance, if you happen to use Laravel you'd install toastr as a dependency in pacakge.json:

    "dependencies": {
        "toastr": "^2.1.4"
    }

Create a toast component or partial:

<script>
	@if(Session::has('message'))
		window.toastr.success("{{ session('message') }}");
	@endif
	@if(Session::has('error'))
		window.toastr.error("{{ session('error') }}");
	@endif
	@if(Session::has('info'))
		toastr.info("{{ session('info') }}");
	@endif
	@if(Session::has('warning'))
		window.toastr.warning("{{ session('warning') }}");
	@endif
</script>

Include that component/partial in your main template file:

		@include('components.toast')

Finally, set the message in $_SESSION like so:

return Response::redirect('/dashboard')->with('message', 'Data Saved!');

Obviously if you're not using Laravel you'll have to do some digging but hopefully that's a decent starting point.

Okay I think I got an idea what to use for this now. Currently using Codeigniter so the equivalent of this should be a flash message.

Thanks.

Yeah, in CI it's a flash message - same general idea insofar as i recall.
