returnHandler()

Controls returning information to client in a standard format.

public returnHandler([bool $retval = true ][, bool $code = false ][, bool $description = false ][, bool $details = false ][, bool $validator_stats = false ][, bool $user_generic_status_batch_id = false ][, bool $request_data = false ][, bool $system_job_queue = false ]) : array<string|int, mixed>|bool

FIXME: Need to return the original request (with any modified values due to restrictions/validation issues) Also need to return paging data variables here too, as JSON can't make multiple calls. In order to do this we need to always return a special data structure that includes this information. static function returnHandler( $retval = TRUE, $args = array( 'code' => FALSE, 'description' => FALSE, 'details' = FALSE, 'validator_stats' => FALSE, 'user_generic_status_batch_id' => FALSE ) ) { The above will require too many changes, just add two more variables at the end, as it will only really be used by API->get*() functions. FIXME: Use a requestHandler() to handle all input requests, so we can parse out things like validate_only, ignore_warning (for user acknowledgable warnings) and handling all parameter parsing in a central place. static function returnHandler( $retval = TRUE, $code = FALSE, $description = FALSE, $details = FALSE, $validator_stats = FALSE, $user_generic_status_batch_id = FALSE, $request = FALSE, $pager = FALSE ) {

Parameters
$retval : bool = true
$code : bool = false
$description : bool = false
$details : bool = false
$validator_stats : bool = false
$user_generic_status_batch_id : bool = false
$request_data : bool = false
