Hi, my contact form wont send to my email. Anything I’m missing? Website is reesecodes.com/contact.php and the PHP script is this:
[code]
<?php echo ""; print_r($_POST); echo ""; exit; $to = "ericreese20@gmail.com"; $from = $_POST['email']; $name = $_POST['name']; $message = $_POST['message']; $subject = "You have a message sent from your site"; $body = $name." from ".$from." says: ".$message; mail($to, $subject, $body); ?>[/code]
Your debugging is killing you. The exit (line 4 right before the $to is assigned a value) will prevent anything further down from executing.
Thankk you, fixed it. This is why I usually stick to front end development
Oh wait, another error. When looking at my email, the content is
from says:
its not grabbing the variable data for some reason?
I’m worried it has to do with my ajax
this is the validate.js code
jQuery.validator.addMethod('answercheck', function (value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^\bcat\b$/.test(value);
}, "Please try again");
jQuery.validator.addMethod('answercheck', function (value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^\bcat\b$/.test(value);
}, "Please try again");
// validate contact form
$(function() {
$('#contact').validate({
rules: {
name: {
required: true
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
message: {
required: true
},
answer: {
required: true,
answercheck: true
}
},
messages: {
name: {
required: "Please enter your name."
},
email: {
required: "Please enter your e-mail."
},
message: {
required: "Please write a message"
},
answer: {
required: "Sorry, wrong answer!"
}
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
$(form).ajaxSubmit({
type:"POST",
data: $(form).serialize(),
url:"scripts/contactform.php",
success: function() {
$('#contact :input').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$('#contact').fadeTo( "fast", 0.15, function() {
$(this).find(':input').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$(this).find('label').css('cursor','default');
$('#error').fadeIn();
});
},
error: function() {
$('#contact').fadeTo( "fast", 0.15, function() {
$('#success').fadeIn();
});
}
});
}
});
});
Is your contactform.php the one from post 1? You need to, in your PHP, json_encode the results, I believe. It works a bit different when you use Ajax, rather than straight PHP.
Also, what’s this?
$(this).find(':input').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
:input?
Also you do know that .success() is not the same as your PHP script deeming it valid / passing the checks in PHP, right?
I just decided to delete the ajax and go php only so it works nowf
Does your real code actually validate the inputs or can anything be entered into those variables so as to allow your page to be used to send spam?
