Question

I am using JQuery and AJAX to post to a PHP file which will eventually parse the data and insert it in a database.

I’m having issue display trying to see what’s wrong with my javascript that it will not post the PHP file.

I know it is not posting because I don’t recieve and email which is the first function in the PHP file.

JS

$(document).ready(function() {
    var ptitle = $("#name").val();
    var pdesc = $("#desc").val();
    var pemail = $("#email.").val();
    $('#submit').click(function() {
        sendValue(ptitle, pdesc, pemail);
    });
});

function sendValue(ptitle, pdesc, pemail) {
    $.post("<?=MOLLY.'update.php'?>", {
        stitle: ptitle,
        sdesc: pdesc,
        semail: pemail
    }, function(data) {
        //
    }, "json");
}

PHP

mail($myemail,'test','test');

if ($_POST){
$title = $_POST['stitle'];
$email = $_POST['semail'];  
mail($myemail,$email,$title);

}

You have a typo:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var ptitle = $("#name").val();
    var pdesc = $("#desc").val();
    var pemail = $("#email.").val();  // <---- I assume you meant "#email".
    $('#submit').click(function() {
        sendValue(ptitle, pdesc, pemail);
    });
});
