Hallo Grzegorz,
thank you for answering.
Is it possible to do it without java-script like in Version mdb 4, only with "is-invalid"
Regards Gerd

Not sure what you mean. Additional JS code was also required in MDB4: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/b4/jquery/forms/validation/#select

Hallo Grzegorz,
please have a look at the attached image.
this is an actual process. in (1) I initialize the table field with basic values
In (2) I check the entry of the fields and set the appropriate values in the event of an error
in (3) I output the fields with the corresponding errors.
Everything only with PHP. Does this also work with MDB?
Regards Gerd

I understand that you want to replace JS validation with the same PHP validation? At the moment we have prepared only an example for the contact form with inputs: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/integrations/contact-form-php/#section-server-side-validation

Thank you for your reply.
I would like to ask you to create a way where users who have java-script disabled can also use the great features like in the previous version 4 of mdbootstrap. In the example you mentioned, the error messages are always printed at the end of the fields, which is not very nice. i would like to have the error message right at the end of the field like in type=" text". Unfortunately I do not have this with php and mdbootstrap5 at the moment. I hope that this will be possible in one of the next version, otherwise I can not continue my conversion to version 5, which would be very annoying.
Regards Gerd

Note that if someone disabled JS, our components won't work anyway. For their correct operation, it is required to enable js. It was the same in MDB 4. JS enabled was required for the proper operation of our components.
I don't know enough about PHP to quickly create a solution without JS. But maybe this will help you: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/grzegorz-bujanski/2919666#js-tab-view

Hi, how can i validate select before sending them in AJAX? If i try to do myFormElement.reportValidity() i get a console error saying the field is not focusable (which is ofc true because your select hides the real and use a series of DIV and other elements

Here is a example of select validation: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/forms/select/#section-validation
But this is to give visual feedback to a user. If you want to add validation to user input you need to add custom validation.
