So I'm trying to check if an email is valid, I know I can only use JS for this, but I prefer my way. So here's what I'm doing
//Get data
if(isset($_POST['email'])){
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')
}
else{
header('Location: /');
}
if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
echo 1;
}
else{
echo 0;
}
And my JS
$(document).ready(function() {
//listens for typing on the desired field
$("#email").keyup(function() {
//gets the value of the field
var email = $("#email").val();
//here is where you send the desired data to the PHP file using ajax
$.post("../classes/validate.php", {email:email},
function(result) {
if(result == 1) {
//Email is valid
console.log("Good");
}
else {
//Email is invalid
console.log("Bad");
}
});
});
});
Now no matter what I enter, it's always returning Bad
. Even with a valid email. Any ideas?
