mac_gyver Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 php is a server-side scripting language. ALL THE PHP CODE YOU HAVE ON THE PAGE RUNS WHEN THE PAGE GETS REQUESTED. javascript is a client-side scripting language. by the time any of it runs, the php code has long since finished running. the ajax request would need to submit the form data to the url of a .php page that contains php code to call to the sendemailfn() function and then output the value returned from the function back to the client-side code as a response to the ajax request. since using ajax to submit form data to a php page is a common task, i recommend that you read through some web based tutorials to see how to do this.
