I have a bootstrap modal contact form which uses AJAX and PHP to save the information sent by a user to a database:
<div class="modal fade" id="contact" role="dialogue">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-body">
<form id="myform" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name: </label>
<input type="name" name="name" class="form-control" id="name" >
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email: </label>
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" id="email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="msg">Message: </label>
<textarea class="form-control" name="msg" id="msg" rows="10"></textarea>
</div>
<!-- <a class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</a> -->
<button id="sub" type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
When I submit the form the page alerts that the AJAX request has failed but yet the information still saves to the database!? anybody know where I'm going wrong, I have attached my script.js and send.php file below:
Javascript/Ajax file:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#myform').submit(function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'send.php',
dataType: 'json',
async: true,
data: $('#myform').serialize(),
success: function(msg){
alert("It was a success");
return false;
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert("Fail");
console.log(jqXHR + '-' + textStatus + '-' + errorThrown);
return false;
}
});
});
});
PHP file for processing and saving to DB
<?php
include 'connect.php';
if(isset($_POST['name'])&&($_POST['email'])&&($_POST['msg']))
{
$sql = "INSERT INTO details (name, email, message) VALUES (:Name, :Email, :Msg)";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindParam(':Name', $_POST['name'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindParam(':Email', $_POST['email'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindParam(':Msg', $_POST['msg'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();
echo "done";
}else{
echo "Nothing posted";
}
?>
P.S No errors are output to the console, just the alert saying failed.
