Question

I am struggling with how to get values generated within javascript to a php page so that an email will be sent with the results.

function sendmemail(){

        var data = 'result=' + result.val();

$.ajax({

            url: "process.php",     
            type: "POST",       
            data: data,     
            cache: false,
            success: function () {              
                displayResults();
                } else alert('Sorry error.');               
            });     
        }

Answer 1

That else part is a syntax error, you can’t add an else clause in that way.

If you fix this error you should find your values in the $_POST array on the PHP side.

You can also use a Javascript object to pass the values:

var data = { result: result.val() }

which is more readable.
