I'm trying to make my contact form send the selected option from the select menu. All of the input data is sending (name, phone, email, suburb, post code) but just not the select option (state). The php_errorlog returns nothing from what I can see.
I'm new to PHP so please go easy on me.
Here is the Javascript and HTML
$(function() {
$("input,textarea").jqBootstrapValidation({
preventSubmit: true,
submitError: function($form, event, errors) {
// additional error messages or events
},
submitSuccess: function($form, event) {
// Prevent spam click and default submit behaviour
$("#btnSubmit").attr("disabled", true);
event.preventDefault();
// get values from FORM
var name = $("input#name").val();
var email = $("input#email").val();
var phone = $("input#phone").val();
var suburb = $("input#suburb").val();
var state = $("input#state").val();
var postcode = $("input#postcode").val();
var message = $("textarea#message").val();
var firstName = name; // For Success/Failure Message
// Check for white space in name for Success/Fail message
if (firstName.indexOf(' ') >= 0) {
firstName = name.split(' ').slice(0, -1).join(' ');
}
$.ajax({
url: "././mail/contact_me.php",
type: "GET",
data: {
name: name,
phone: phone,
email: email,
suburb: suburb,
state: state,
postcode: postcode,
message: message
},
cache: false,
success: function() {
// Enable button & show success message
$("#btnSubmit").attr("disabled", false);
$('#success').html("<div class='alert alert-success'>");
$('#success > .alert-success').html("<button type='button' class='close' data-dismiss='alert' aria-hidden='true'>×")
.append("</button>");
$('#success > .alert-success')
.append("<strong>Your message has been sent. </strong>");
$('#success > .alert-success')
.append('</div>');
//clear all fields
$('#contactForm').trigger("reset");
},
error: function() {
// Fail message
$('#success').html("<div class='alert alert-danger'>");
$('#success > .alert-danger').html("<button type='button' class='close' data-dismiss='alert' aria-hidden='true'>×")
.append("</button>");
$('#success > .alert-danger').append("<strong>Sorry " + firstName + ", it seems that my mail server is not responding. Please try again later!");
$('#success > .alert-danger').append('</div>');
//clear all fields
$('#contactForm').trigger("reset");
},
})
},
filter: function() {
return $(this).is(":visible");
},
});
$("a[data-toggle=\"tab\"]").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).tab("show");
});
});
// When clicking on Full hide fail/success boxes
$('#name').focus(function() {
$('#success').html('');
