Jquery Validations when using Zend Framework - php

I am Using zend Framework-1.7.2. when I am Updating Account Information of logged in user that time I am using jquery validations. But the script is not working.
How to use it? Please, anyone can help me ?
I am not using Zend Jquery Plugin. I am using seperate Jquery script like we are including and using in any simple php project.

If you are using Zfdebug, or somehow included twice the Jquery script, you may have problems from that. I had theese kind of problems.

Can I run PHP in Java?

I'm trying to make a form builder. I'm using SpringMVC.
I found this good form builder written in jQuery and PHP. Jquery Formbuilder
It converts an existing form(in DB) into JSON/XML and then passes it on for displaying. How can I achieve that in Spring? Is there a way I can reuse this plugin? Or use the PHP code inside Java directly?
Or is there a simpler way? Is there a similar plugin in Java?
Please guide.
You can use PHP code in Java with Quercus but it seems like a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Perhaps a simpler approach would be a PHP front end, populated by calls to a Java back-end

PHP Jquery ajax class

I have been using xajax, as a server side ajax class (all the ajax response is handled with php code) for the longest while.
However I lately fell in love with jquery, and am using it for a project. I would like to know if there is a server side class (like xajax) that handles jquery ajax? or does anyone know of a tutorial/example i can use to create my own?
Thank you in advance
Here are two alternatives:

Jquery(javascript) is a frontend/public language. Of course you will need to verify any data sent via javascript, on the server-side and/or both on the front-end.
jQuery has a plethora of options concerning ajax. ( $.post/$.get/$.getJSON/$.ajax ). these send/retrieve data via a HTTP request.
If you have leaned towards jQuery, why would you want a php-ajax library? You will do your input validating server-side anyway!
jquery/ajax will send your data either with a post or get request, you just grab it with php and verify.
For a user-friendly experience I would suggest both frontend/backend validating.

How do you add javascript to forms in the Zend Framework?

How do you add javascript to forms created with the Zend framework? For instance, if I wanted to validate the form, or if I wanted to utilize events like blur, focus and onclick?
What I tend to do is :
From the PHP code, generate the form, using Zend_Form and the related classes
This includes setting up the form itself,
But also server-side validations and all that
Once the form works fine, I add Javascript in an un-obstrusive way.
Which means my JS code is totally distinct from the PHP/Zend_Form code.
And also mean my form doesn't rely on Javascript being activated in the user's browser, as the form already works before.
If you are using jQuery, you can detect when the page is loaded $.ready, and hook a function on that event -- function that will add some dynamic bahaviors to your form.
Of course, you can do the same sort of thing with other JS libraries -- I only took jQuery as an example because of its popularity, and the fact there are some jQuery-related components in ZendX.

How do you make a web page change without reloading the page?

What should I look into to accomplish this.
When you select an input field some text to the right shows up.
For example: https://twitter.com/signup
Anyway i need something like that works with PHP. What should I look in to?
And also How can you query the database and not have to reload the page to see result? For example i have seen on many sites registration you can check if the a username is used without the page reloading. Dont know how to explain better.
Thanks
Like Arkain said, they are making the text appear with JavaScript. PHP is server-side only, meaning it can't make any changes to the page once it has loaded.
You can however, call a PHP script dynamically (to check if a username is registered) using a technique called AJAX.
I'd look into Ajax using jQuery. I had done some things with ajax before trying jQuery but jQuery made it so easy that I found it enjoyable to keep implementing things using it.
You need to use JavaScript, look at this source for instance, for some beginner tutorials.
Learn JavaScript. You can start with jQuery (a pre-made javascript toolkit of functions that help you do many things without reloading the page).
Google for a jQuery Ajax tutorial.

Any PHP -> jQuery libraries out there?

Have any bridge libraries been developed for PHP that provide access to the jQuery framework? Ideally it would be nice to have something fairly extensible so that creating jQuery-based content using PHP code would be fairly easy and customizeable. Does such a thing exist yet?
pquery
jqpie
jquery-php
There's a warmup list.
So far I've found one that seems to fit the description. I haven't tried it out yet, so if anyone has any feedback or experience with this or other ones don't hesitate to post!
PQuery
jQPie might be what you're after.
What can jQPie do?
Easily request and process data from php using $.getJSON
Inject php generated html into elements using $.(element).load
Call php functions directly from your web pages using $.jqpie
Call jQuery from php in respond to $.jqpie calls
Advanced autocomplete using jqpie_complete
QueryPath (http://querypath.org) is a full implementation of the jQuery DOM/XML/HTML part of jQuery. QueryPath has full CSS 3 selector support (including the stuff jQuery doesn't have, like XML namespace support). It also comes with DB tools, where you can run queries and have the results inserted into the query object. And it has a template engine, too. Like jQuery, you can write custom extensions very easily.
But it definitely takes advantage of its server-side status.
The main project page is at https://fedorahosted.org/querypath. You can download it there (and see lots of examples, including RSS and SVG manipulation).
Integrating with jQuery, then, can be done easily by sending XML data of many sorts down to jQuery. (You could probably send JSON, too... never tried.) And since the server side code and the client side code both look the same, there's less of a need to learn two totally different toolkits.
