On the front end everything appears to be functioning; the 'Your message has been successfully sent!' appears when the submit button is pressed on the contact section (located on the page index.php - the only page on the website). Nevertheless, when I check the email address the php form is supposed to have been sent to, there is nothing received.... Can anyone suggest why?
HTML:
<form id="validationForm" method="post" action="index.php">
<label for="anti" id="antiLabel">This is an anti 's'-to-the-'pam' field. Accordingly, do not delete or enter any information here.</label>
<input name="anti" id="antiInput"/>
<label for="name" class="label"></label>
<input name="name" id="name" class="input" placeholder="Name..." required/>
<label for="email" class="label"></label>
<input name="email" id="email" class="input" placeholder="Email Address..." required/>
<label for="subject" class="label"></label>
<input name="subject" id="subject" class="input" placeholder="Subject..." required/>
<label for="message" id="labelMessage"></label>
<textarea name="message" id="inputMessage" placeholder="Message..." required></textarea>
<input id="submitButton" type="submit" value="Submit" class="input"/>
</form>
jQuery:
<script>
$("#validationForm").submit(function(event){
var errorMessage="";
event.preventDefault();
/* Regex validation of email address */
if (!isValidEmailAddress($("#email").val())) {
errorMessage="*Please enter a valid email address*";}
if (errorMessage=="") {
$("#error").html("");
// send email via ajax
$.post('index.php', {
name: $('#validationForm').find('input[name=name]').val(),
email: $('#validationForm').find('input[name=email]').val(),
subject: $('#validationForm').find('input[name=subject]').val(),
message: $('#validationForm').find('textarea[name=message]').val()
}, function() {
// after the ajax response and email sent alert the user
alert("Your message has been successfully sent!");
});
} else {
$("#error").html(errorMessage);
}
});
/* '!' concerned with false i.e. if not a valid email */
