How Do I Send An Email When The Form Is Submitted By Using Ajax

Post a Comment
i have a form on a page called buyback.php and that form is at the bottom of the page. the coding of the form is:-
onsubmit="return function()" attribute with the function you want to call, in this case we will be using sendForm().

<form id="elqForm" method="post" name="elqForm" onsubmit="return sendForm()">

JavaScript

Somewhere else in your JavaScript code, you must add this lines:

Vanilla JavaScript:

function sendForm(){
   var form = document.querySelector('elqForm');
   var data = new FormData(form);
   const Http = new XMLHttpRequest();
   const url='path/to/your/phpfile.php';
   Http.open("POST", url);
   Http.send(data);
   Http.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if(Http.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE && Http.status === 200) {
        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = Http.responseText;
    }
};
return false;
}

With jQuery:

https://api.jquery.com/

function sendForm(){
   var data = $("#elqForm").serialize();
   $.ajax({
     type: "POST",
     url: "path/to/your/phpfile.php",
     data: data,
     success: function(response){
        $("#result").html(response);
     }
   });
}

PHP

Just change this lines to echo the text you want to output in your div.

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $header)) {
    echo "Thank you for contacting us. We will reply you as soon as possible";
} else {
    echo "Message Sending Failed, try again";
}

Solution 2:

This code has been tested by me

Alot of modifications has been done to your code. More features added like when a message is successful or failed the respectives messages will fading out after some time via ajax.

okay here is what I have done. I am sending your data using ajax as you wanted via formData() method.

Your submit button is now modified below.

<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="orange_btn" name="elqFormSubmitBut"/>

Your ajax result div modified below thus removing php script on it

<div id="result"></div>

At your Server backend your result response has also be modified as per below

echo "<div  id='fadebox'>Thank you for contacting us. We will reply you as soon as possible</div>";

You can see id having fadebox attributes. Thats what fades out result response via ajax post after sometime. You can increase or reduce the time in the ajax code.

I guess You will need to be online to test your script properly because of the mail

        </form>
        <div id="result"></div>
    </div>


</body>
</html>

here is the modified buyback.php. you can also see how the result response is modified and I just does validate using first_name

<?php
// validate  using first name

if ($_POST['Contact_First_Name']) {
$Contact_First_Name = $_POST['Contact_First_Name'];
$Contact_Last_Name = $_POST['Contact_Last_Name'];
$Contact_Email = $_POST['Contact_Email'];
$Job_Responsibility = $_POST['Job_Responsibility'];
$Company_Name = $_POST['Company_Name'];
$Company_Country = $_POST['Company_Country'];
$Company_State_Province = $_POST['Company_State_Province'];
$Contact_Phone_Number = $_POST['Contact_Phone_Number'];
$Number_Of_Employees = $_POST['Number_Of_Employees'];

$to = "aaa@gmail.com";
$from = "bbb@gmail.com";

switch ($Number_Of_Employees) {
    case "bet10and49": $Number_Of_Employees = "Between 10 and 49"; break;
    case "bet50and99": $Number_Of_Employees = "Between 50 and 99"; break;
    case "bet100and199": $Number_Of_Employees = "Between 100 and 199"; break;
    case "ab200": $Number_Of_Employees = "Above 200"; break;
}

$message = "
  Contact First Name: $Contact_First_Name<br/>
  Contact Last Name: $Contact_Last_Name<br/>
  Contact Email: $Contact_Email<br/>
  Job Responsibility: $Job_Responsibility<br/>
  Company Name: $Company_Name<br/>
  City: $Company_State_Province<br/>
  Business Phone Number: $Contact_Phone_Number<br/>
  Number Of Employees: $Number_Of_Employees";

$subject = "New Message from the Buyback Form";
$header  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'From:'. $from  . " \r\n";

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $header)) {
    $result = "";
echo "<div  id='fadebox'>Thank you for contacting us. We will reply you as soon as possible</div>";

} else {

echo "<div  id='fadebox'>Message Sending Failed, try again</div>";
}
}
?>
