[SOLVED] AJAX test with PHP [Simple One]

[d.shankar]

I have two files the first one contains an AJAX script that sends parameter "1" to the php page. If 1 is received then it sends mail else it won send.

 

Here's the code..

 

The AJAX script to run

 

<?php
?>
<script>
var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
client.onreadystatechange = function() {
client.open("POST", "http://localhost/chkmail.php",true)
client.send("ptr=1");
}
</script>
<?php
?>

 

 

The php page that contains an email code to send if it gets the parameter 1

 

<?php
ini_set("sendmail_from", "me@myself.com");
$mailptr=$_GET['ptr'];
if($mailptr==1)
{
$to="tome@gmail.com";
$subject="test";
$body="nothing";
mail($to, $subjectx, $body);
}
?>

 

 

Can somebody suggest help ?

[rajivgonsalves]

first of all $mailptr=$_GET['ptr']; should be $mailptr=$_POST['ptr']; as your using the post method

client.open("POST", "http://localhost/chkmail.php",true)

Still the same problem.

Checked all bulk and spam folders..

[rajivgonsalves]

is your SMTP up and running do you receive mail from mail function in PHP

[d.shankar]

Yea my smtp is working fine.

 

When i hardcode the below php script it works , but it is not getting fetched from AJAX

 

<?php
ini_set("sendmail_from", "me@myself.com");
$mailptr=1;
if($mailptr==1)
{
$to="tome@gmail.com";
$subject="test";
$body="nothing";
mail($to, $subjectx, $body);
}
?>

 

Got any other ideas ??

[rajivgonsalves]

well try this javascript code

 

<script>
var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
client.open("POST", "http://localhost/chkmail.php",true);
client.onreadystatechange = function() { alert('sent');}
client.send("ptr=1");
</script>

You know you don't have to quote yourself everytime you post, we'll be able to read it perfectly fine without the quote.

Hello rajiv.

 

The alert is getting displayed but the mail isnt sent.

 

 

Btw mr.halofreek , it has become a habit for me .. so sorry

[rajivgonsalves]

are you using the $_GET or the $_POST in your chkmail.php php it should work now unless I am overlooking something

[d.shankar]

Yeah its set $_POST only.

[HaLo2FrEeEk]

Seriously, just hit reply, then type your post, don't hit quote, you don't need those tags, ok.

[rajivgonsalves]

script>
var params = "ptr=1";
var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
client.open("POST", "http://localhost/chkmail.php",true);
client.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
client.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
client.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
client.onreadystatechange = function() { alert('sent');}
client.send(params);
</script>
