I'm trying to send a form's data using jQuery. However, data does not reach the server. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
My HTML form:
<form id="contactForm" name="contactForm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="nume" size="40" placeholder="Nume">
<input type="text" name="telefon" size="40" placeholder="Telefon">
<input type="text" name="email" size="40" placeholder="Email">
<textarea name="comentarii" cols="36" rows="5" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
<input id="submitBtn" type="submit" name="submit" value="Trimite">
</form>
JavaScript (in the same file as the above form):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$("#contactForm").submit(function() {
$.post("getcontact.php", $("#contactForm").serialize())
// Serialization looks good: name=textInNameInput&&telefon=textInPhoneInput etc
.done(function(data) {
if (data.trim().length > 0) {
$("#sent").text("Error");
} else {
$("#sent").text("Success");
}
});
return false;
})
});
</script>
Server side PHP (/getcontact.php):
$nume = $_REQUEST["nume"]; // $nume contains no data. Also tried $_POST
$email = $_REQUEST["email"];
$telefon = $_REQUEST["telefon"];
$comentarii = $_REQUEST["comentarii"];
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
UPDATE
Checked var_dump($_POST) and it returned an empty array.
The weird thing is that the same code tested on my local machine works fine. If I upload the files on my hosting space it stops working. I tried doing an old-fashioned form without using jQuery and all data was correct.
I don't see how this would be a server configuration problem. Any ideas?
Thank you!
