Php Ajax Form Submit ..nothing Happens

I have a PHP Ajax form that I'm trying to submit a Zendesk API call. Whenever I use the ajax part, in order to keep the user on the same page, it doesn't work. When I remove the &l

Solution 1:

I expect your use of contact.php as a relative URL isn't resolving properly. Check your JavaScript console and you should see an error that shows the post failing. Change contact.php to www.your_domain.com/contact.php and it should work fine

Solution 2:

Replace jQuery(document).ready(function() { by

$(document).ready(function() {

Secondly from Jquery documentation:

Note: Only "successful controls" are serialized to the string. No submit button value is serialized since the form was not submitted using a button. For a form element's value to be included in the serialized string, the element must have a name attribute. Values from checkboxes and radio buttons (inputs of type "radio" or "checkbox") are included only if they are checked. Data from file select elements is not serialized.

Therefore submit button won't serialize through jQuery.serialize() function.

A solution below:

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

$('.success-message-subscribe').hide();
$('.error-message-subscribe').hide();

    $('#submitter').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $myform = $(this).parent('form');
        $btnid = $(this).attr('name');
        $btnval = $(this).attr('value');
        var postdata = $myform.serialize();
        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'contact.php',
            data: { "btnid" : $btnid, "btnval": $btnval, "form-data": $form.serialize() },
            dataType: 'json',
            success: function(json) {
                if(json.valid == 1) {
                    $('.box_form').hide();

                    $('.error-message-subscribe').hide();
                    $('.success-message-subscribe').hide();
                    $('.subscribe form').hide();
                    $('.success-message-subscribe').html(json.message);
                    $('.success-message-subscribe').fadeIn();
                }
            }
        });
        returnfalse;
    });

});
</script>
