Hi Everyone I have the following due to some situation on one of my projects. I'm working with angular-xeditable, it has a method onbefore save which should returns a string in case I want the from to maintain opened(editable) and true in case I want to form to be closed(not editable).
Now the problem, below you will find my code for one angular function
self.validateBeforeSave = function(data, id){
          var current_id = id;
          $http.post('data/functions.php', {
                action : 'updateQuotasDisease',
                sqlPeriod : data.period,
                sqlDiseaseCode : data.disease_code,
                sqlTargetCountry : data.target_country,
                sqlTargetSpecialty : data.target_specialty,
                sqlChartsAmount : data.charts_amount,
                sqlAmount : data.amount,
                sqlStatus : data.status
              })
              .success(function(response) {
                if(response == 'quota-exists'){
                  $("#"+current_id).css("background-color", "#ffc4c4");
                  swal("That quota already exists!", "", "error");
                  return "error-msg";
                }
                else{
                  $("#"+current_id).css("background-color", "#ffffff");
                  return true;
                }
              })
              .error(function(response) {
                console.log('Error: ' + response);
            });
        };
This code is being called from this HTML, but basically what matters is the need of a return from previous functions of true or "string", you can find onbeforesave="$ctrl.validateBeforeSave($data, line.id)" from there I'm calling the previous function.
<table class="table general-tables table-responsive" ng-show="$ctrl.VisibleQuotasDisease">
                <thead>
                    <tr>

                        <th>Period</th>
                        <th>Disease code</th>

Finnaly I want to do the question how can I do a return from inside the success section of $http post or how can I workaround to solve this situation.
Thanks in advance.
Just as another piece of code here the php function that I'm calling
if($request -> action == 'updateQuotasDisease'){
        $period_sql = $request -> sqlPeriod; 
        $disease_code_sql = $request -> sqlDiseaseCode;
        $target_country_sql = $request -> sqlTargetCountry; 
        $target_specialty_sql = $request -> sqlTargetSpecialty;
        $charts_amount_sql = $request -> sqlChartsAmount; 
        $amount_sql = $request -> sqlAmount;
        $status_sql = $request -> sqlStatus;
        $existing_record = connDB() -> getOne("SELECT count(*) FROM quota_period WHERE period_field = '$period_sql' AND disease_code_numeric = '$disease_code_sql' AND targeted_country = '$target_country_sql' AND targeted_specialty_numeric_code = '$target_specialty_sql' AND amount = $amount_sql AND patient_cases_amount = $charts_amount_sql AND status = $status_sql;");
        if($existing_record < 1){
            connDB() -> query("UPDATE quota_period SET period_field = '$period_sql', disease_code_numeric = '$disease_code_sql', targeted_country = '$target_country_sql', targeted_specialty_numeric_code = '$target_specialty_sql', patient_cases_amount = $charts_amount_sql, amount = $amount_sql, status = $status_sql WHERE period_field = '$period_sql' AND disease_code_numeric = '$disease_code_sql' AND targeted_country = '$target_country_sql' AND targeted_specialty_numeric_code = '$target_specialty_sql';");
        }
        else{
            echo "quota-exists";
        }
    }
