How To Know If The Email Was Sent In Php-Jquery With .serialize() ?

Hi!

 

I need to know when the php file has sent the email from the a HTML Form and passsing it to Jquery. i did some research in internet and i found the "submit" option with .serialize() in Jquery, but 'cause i'm new in php i can't get it work.

How .serialize() works exactly?

Because i'm having my "alert" just by clicing the submit bottom and not when the email has been sent.

 

If someone could help me with a link to begginers to learn that or make a correction in my code, i would be very greatfull.

Here's my code :

HTML :

 

		
<html>
	<form method="post" action="form-to-email.php" id="myform">
		<div class="field">
		<label for="name">Your Name :</label>
		<input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="required" />
		</div>
		<div class="field">
		<label for="email">Please, give us an email :</label>
		<input type="text" name="email" id="email" class="required email" />
		</div>

		<div class="field">
		<label for="message" id="message-bg">Tell us about your project :</label>

		<textarea name="message" rows="20" cols="20" id="message" class="required"></textarea>
		</div>
		<img id="icon-contact" src="images/icon-contact.png" alt="icon-contact" />
		<div class="field">
		<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button" />
		</div>
	</form>
</html> 

 

 

PHP :


<?php
if(!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
 echo "error; you need to submit the form!";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
//Validate first
if(empty($name)||empty($visitor_email))
{
 echo "Name and email are mandatory!";
 exit;
}
if(IsInjected($visitor_email))
{
 echo "Bad email value!";
 exit;
}
$email_from = 'website-clientes@blabla.com';//<== update the email address
$email_subject = "Mensaje del amigo/a $name";
$email_body = "Hola! Me llamo $name, y quisiera decirles :\n \n$message \n \n \n".
$to = "blbla@blabla.com";//<== update the email address
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \n";
//Send the email!
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
header('Location: index.html');

?>

 

 

JQUERY :

 

$("#myform").submit(function(event) {
	 /* stop form from submitting normally */
	     event.preventDefault();
            $.post( 'form-to-email.php', $("#myform").serialize(),
		 function() {
		 $('#myform').get(0).reset();
		 alert("Your message has been sent, Thanks!") ;
	 }
 );
});

 

 

Thanks a lot for your help !

You need to send a response back to the javascript that could then be put into the page.

 

I.e. You use PHP to respond back with a valid html string saying "Success" or "Error" and then take that response and put it into a div or something.

 

I personally use a jquery plugin called taconite which lets me post a response back using xml to target the nesscary html tags. The xml syntax is really cool because it follows the jquery selector format.

It has examples and demos on that site how to use it.

 

Also use Firefoxs FIrebug plugin to debug the responses sent by the GET/POST.
