Question

hi
in the code below i want to send the email (with input data by user, in case email address) to a php file but

$email = $_POST['email']; <<<<<<<<<<<< this retrieve nothing in the php file

js file

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#Form").submit(function() {
             $.ajax({
                 url: "data.php",
                 type: "post",
                 dataType: "json",
                 data: { email: $('#email').val()},
                 success: function(data) {
                     if () {
                         //something
                     } else {
                         //something
                     }
                 }
             });
             return false;
         });
    });
</script>

any reason for that?

i tested email="onePrivateEmail" in php and the validation is correct, so the problem is the email is not sent by js file. Correct?

thanks

form:

<form method="post" id="Form" action="">
                        <div>
                            <label for="name">Name</label> 
                            <input id="name" name="name" type="text" /> 
                            <span id="nameInfo">Insira o seu nome</span>
                        </div>
                        <div>
                            <label for="email">E-mail</label> 
                            <input id="email" name="email" type="text" /> 
                            <span id="emailInfo">Insira um email válido por favor!</span>
                        </div>
                        <div>
                            <label for="myPassword">Password</label> 
                            <input id="myPassword" name="myPassword" type="password" /> 
                            <span id="myPasswordInfo">Insira pelo menos 4 letras e sem espaços</span>
                            <div id="bar" style="width: 234px; height: 20px;"></div>
                        </div>
                        <div>
                            <label for="pass2">Confirm Password</label> 
                            <input id="pass2" name="pass2" type="password" /> 
                            <span id="pass2Info">Confirme a password</span>
                        </div>
                        <div></div>
                        <div>
                            <input id="send" name="send" type="submit" value="Send" />
                        </div>

as i said (before deleted)

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {

   alert( $('#email').val() ); 

});
</script>

this doesn’t show anything in the alert

Answer 1

your not targeting the right form you want

 $("#customForm").submit(function() { ....

given the new information I suspect that either you don’t have jquery loaded or you did put anything in the inputs

here is a demo showing data in eamil
