Ajax validation duplicates html page inside html element

My PHP username validation with Ajax duplicates my html page inside of html div(this is for showing ajax error) element. I tried some solutions and google it bu can't find anything else for solution. Maybe the problem is about the $_POST but I also separated them in php (all the inputs validation).
Here is PHP code
<?php
if(isset($_POST['username'])){
//username validation
$username = $_POST['username'];
if (! $user->isValidUsername($username)){
$infoun[] = 'Your username has at least 6 alphanumeric characters';
} else {
$stmt = $db->prepare('SELECT username FROM members WHERE username = :username');
$stmt->execute(array(':username' => $username));
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if (! empty($row['username'])){
$errorun[] = 'This username is already in use';
}
}
}
if(isset($_POST['fullname'])){
//fullname validation
$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
if (! $user->isValidFullname($fullname)){
$infofn[] = 'Your name must be alphabetical characters';
}
}
if(isset($_POST['password'])){
if (strlen($_POST['password']) < 6){
$warningpw[] = 'Your password must be at least 6 characters long';
}
}
if(isset($_POST['email'])){
//email validation
$email = htmlspecialchars_decode($_POST['email'], ENT_QUOTES);
if (! filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
$warningm[] = 'Please enter a valid email address';
} else {
$stmt = $db->prepare('SELECT email FROM members WHERE email = :email');
$stmt->execute(array(':email' => $email));
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if (! empty($row['email'])){
$errorm[] = 'This email is already in use';
}
}
}
?>
Here is Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#username").keyup(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var username = $(this).val().trim();
if(username.length >= 3){
$.ajax({
url: 'register.php',
type: 'post',
data: {username:username},
success: function(response){
// Show response
$("#uname_response").html(response);
}
});
}else{
$("#uname_response").html("");
}
});
});
</script>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" class="form-control form-control-user" placeholder="Kullanıcı Adınız" value="<?php if(isset($error)){ echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['username'], ENT_QUOTES); } ?>" tabindex="2" required>
<div id="uname_response" ></div>

The only code in your PHP file should be within the <?php ?> tags. You need to seperate your PHP code into another file.

Getting data back from a PHP script

So after validating the form via Jquery, I like to know if the username and password are valid. If they are, it should redirect to another page, else I want to find a way of showing it to the user. At this point, I'm really confused. Here's the jquery code:
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('.error').hide();
$('#staffLogin').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('.error').hide();
uName = $('#staff_username').val();
pWord = $('#staff_password').val();
if(uName == ''){
$('#u_error').fadeIn();
$('#staff_username').focus();
return false;
}
if(pWord == ''){
$('#p_error').fadeIn();
$('#staff_password').focus();
return false;
}
$.ajax({
type : 'POST', url : 'staff_access.php', data : 'uName='+uName+'&pWord='+pWord,
success: function(html){
if(html == 'true'){
window.location = 'staff_page.php';
}
else{
$('#val_error').fadeIn();
}
}
})
});
});
PHP:
<?php
include('admin/config.php');
$username = $_POST['uName'];
$password = $_POST['pWord'];
$conn = mysqli_connect(DB_DSN,DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD,dbname);
if ($conn) {
$qry = "SELECT lastname, firstname, FROM staff_user WHERE username='".$username."' AND pass='".$password."";
$res = mysqli_query($qry);
$num_row = mysqli_num_rows($res);
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
if ($num_row == 1) {
session_start();
$_SESSION['login'] = true;
$_SESSION['lastname'] = $row['lastname'];
$_SESSION['firstname'] = $row['firstname'];
$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
echo "true";
}
else{
echo "false";
}
}
else{
$conn_err = "Could not connect.".mysql_error();
}
mysqli_close($conn);
?>
FORM:
<form name="staff_login" method="post" action="" id="staffLogin">
<fieldset>
<legend>Staff Login</legend>
<span class="fa fa-user fa-5x"></span>
<br><br>
<input type="text" name="staff_username" id="staff_username" placeholder="Username">
<br><span class="error" id="u_error">Username Required</span><br>
<input type="password" name="staff_password" id="staff_password" placeholder="Password">
<br><span class="error" id="p_error">Password Required</span><br>
<span class="error" id="val_error">Incorrect Username and Password combination</span>
<input type="submit" name="staff_login" value="Login">
</fieldset>
</form>

Your ajax data is sent in wrong format. POST data should be sent as an object.
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'staff_access.php',
data : {
uName: uName,
pWord: pWord
},
dataType: 'text',
success: function(html){
if(html == 'true'){
window.location = 'staff_page.php';
}
else{
$('#val_error').fadeIn();
}
}
});
Also avoid using texts like 'html'. You may end up getting unnecessary errors due to that.
Use more relevant words like "success: function(response)"

Try to define a dataTpe in your ajax config - dataType: "html"

back-end error_msg is not giving a alert..!

I am using jquery to make a .php file execute but my major problem is when ever a error is thrown from back-end i used a alert to display that error_msg..but ever i submit with a error intentionally...its just moving on to page specified in action...no error alert poped up...plz help me out of this.!!pardon me if am wrong

From the comments:
So only after displaying Registeration successful! I want to submit the form and redirect it to login.html
Well the solution is quite simple and involved adding and setting async parameter to false in .ajax(). Setting async to false means that the statement you are calling has to complete before the next statement in your function can be called. If you set async: true then that statement will begin it's execution and the next statement will be called regardless of whether the async statement has completed yet.
Your jQuery should be like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
//execute's the function on click
$("#submit").click(function(e){
/*jquery to call the url requested
and parse the data in json*/
$.ajax({
url: "register.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
fname: $("#fname").val(),
lname: $("#lname").val(),
email: $("#email").val(),
password: $("#password").val(),
mobile: $("#mobile").val()
},
async: false,
dataType: "JSON",
/*Give out the alert box
to display the results*/
success: function (json){
if(json.error){
alert(json.error_msg);
e.preventDefault();
}else{
alert("Registeration successful!",json.user.email);
('#register').submit();
}
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(errorThrown);
}
});
});
});
So the form will only get submitted if the registration is successful, otherwise not.
Edited:
First of all make sure that <!DOCTYPE html> is there on the top of your page, it stands for html5 and html5 supports required attribute.
Now comes to your front-end validation thing. The HTML5 form validation process is limited to situations where the form is being submitted via a submit button. The Form submission algorithm explicitly says that validation is not performed when the form is submitted via the submit() method. Apparently, the idea is that if you submit a form via JavaScript, you are supposed to do validation.
However, you can request (static) form validation against the constraints defined by HTML5 attributes, using the checkValidity() method.
For the purpose of simplicity I removed your terms and conditions checkbox and Google ReCaptcha. You can incorporate those later in your code.
So here's your HTML code snippet:
<form method = "POST" name = "register" id = "register" class="m-t" role="form" action="login.html">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name = "fname" id = "fname" class="form-control" placeholder="First Name" required />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name = "lname" id = "lname" class="form-control" placeholder="Last Name" required />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" name = "email" id = "email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email" required />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="password" name = "password" id = "password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="mobile" name = "mobile" id = "mobile" class="form-control" placeholder="Mobile No" required />
</div>
<!--Your checkbox goes here-->
<!--Your Google ReCaptcha-->
<input type="submit" name = "submit" id = "submit" class="btn btn-primary block full-width m-b" value="Register" />
</form>
<p class="text-muted text-center"><small>Already have an account?</small></p>
<a class="btn btn-sm btn-white btn-block" href="login.html">Login</a>
And your jQuery would be like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
//execute's the function on click
$("#submit").click(function(e){
var status = $('form')[0].checkValidity();
if(status){
/*jquery to call the url requested
and parse the data in json*/
$.ajax({
url: "register.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
fname: $("#fname").val(),
lname: $("#lname").val(),
email: $("#email").val(),
password: $("#password").val(),
mobile: $("#mobile").val()
},
async: false,
dataType: "JSON",
/*Give out the alert box
to display the results*/
success: function (json){
if(json.error){
alert(json.error_msg);
e.preventDefault();
}else{
alert("Registeration successful!",json.user.email);
$('#register').submit();
}
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(errorThrown);
}
});
}
});
});

your form submit takes action before ajax action so its reloading the page and use form submit instead of submit button click
//execute's the function on click
$("#register").on('submit',function(e){
e.preventDefault(); // prevent page from reloading
Ok steps to be sure that everthing works fine while you try to use ajax
1st : use form submit and use e.preventDefault(); to prevent page reloading
//execute's the function on click
$("#register").on('submit',function(e){
e.preventDefault(); // prevent page from reloading
alert('Form submited');
});
if the alert popup and form not reloading the page then the next step using ajax
//execute's the function on click
$("#register").on('submit',function(e){
e.preventDefault(); // prevent page from reloading
$.ajax({
url: "register.php",
type: "POST",
dataType: "JSON",
data: {success : 'success'},
success : function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
});
and in php (register.php)
<?php
echo $_POST['success'];
?>
this code should alert with "success" alert box .. if this step is good so now your ajax and php file is connected successfully then pass variables and do another stuff

simple ajax call to database to verify email php codeigniter

On blur of an e-mail textbox, I want it to do an ajax call back and verify if the e-mail is already in use.
The call is finding the webmethod, however, it's returning a null value. I trimmed the code and I'm getting a null value with the following:
function chkEmail(email) {
var prom = $.Deferred();
console.log(email);
$('#emailCheckGIF').show();
$('input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
$.ajax({
url: 'emailAvailable',
data: { 'email': email },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data + ' good');
prom.resolve(data);
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(errorThrown + ' error');
prom.reject(errorThrown);
}
});
return prom;
}
My simplified web method
public function emailAvailable($email = null) {
echo json_encode($email);
}
In the firefox dev tools, it says the email param is being passed correctly and the response from the service is NULL
If I remove the json_encode it comes over as a blank string.

Please Try This --
My Controller --
public function checkEmail()
{
$email = $_POST['email'];
$result = $this->federation_model->checkEmail($email);
echo json_encode($result);
}
My Model --
public function checkEmail($email)
{
$this->db->where('user_email', $email);
$result=$this->db->get('users')->row_array();
if(is_array($result))
{
return $result;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
My View --
<div class="col-md-4">
<input name="assoc_email" id="assoc_email" type="email" class="form-control"/>
<span id="line2" class="text-left"></span>
</div>
My Script --
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#assoc_email').keyup(function(){
var email = $('#assoc_email').val();
var filter = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\#(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
// my ajax function will call after enter the valid email
if(email == "" || !filter.test(email))
{
$('#line2').html("");
$('#submit_assoc').attr('disabled', false);
}
if(filter.test(email) && email != "")
{
$.ajax({
url:"<?php echo base_url(); ?>federation/checkEmail",
type:"post",
data:"email="+email,
success: function(data){
var result = JSON.parse(data);
if(result == "")
{
$('#line2').html("<?php echo $this->lang->line('email'); ?> <?php echo $this->lang->line('available'); ?> ");
$('#line2').css('color', 'green');
}
else
{
$('#line2').html("<?php echo $this->lang->line('email'); ?> <?php echo $this->lang->line('already'); ?> <?php echo $this->lang->line('exists'); ?>");
$('#line2').css('color', '#f3565d');
}
}
});
}
});
});
</script>

send form via AJAX in jQuery then save in MySQL but doesn't work

as title, I am a beginner about website design.
Please never mind if I ask a stupid question.
while i send the form, it didnt work.
here is html:
<form id="form1" name="form1" action="toSQL.php" method="POST" accept-charset="utf-8">
<input type="text" name="Cliname" id="textfield" maxlength = "10" />
<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="3" maxlength = "20" ></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit" />
</form>
<div class="alert"></div>
and here is js:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var form = $(this) ;
var submited = $('#submit') ;
var alerted = $('.alert') ;
form.on( 'submit', this, (function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if ( $.trim($form.find('input[name="Cliname"]').val()) == "" || $.trim($form.find('input[name="message"]').val()) == "" ) {
alert( "please enter!!" ) ;
return ;
}
else {
$.ajax({
url: 'toSQL.php', // form action url
type: 'POST', // form submit method get/post
dataType: 'html', // request type html/json/xml
data: form.serialize(), // serialize form data
beforeSend: function() {
alerted.fadeOut();
},
success: function(data) {
alerted.html(data).fadeIn(); // fade in response data
form.trigger('reset'); // reset form
},
error: function(e) {
console.log(e)
}
});
}
}));
});
</script>
server side php:
<?php
if( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] ) ){
if (isset($_POST['Cliname']) AND isset($_POST['message'])) {
$name = filter_var($_POST['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$message = filter_var($_POST['message'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if (send($name, $message)) {
echo 'Message sent!';
} else {
echo 'Message couldn\'t sent!';
}
}
else {
echo 'All Fields are required';
}
return;
}
function send( $name, $message ) {

mysql_query($queryStr,$mysqlConnection) or die(mysql_error());
return true ;
}
?>

Did i miss something?

As a couple people have mentioned already, you are trying to serialize your entire dom object, which isn't going to work. Change it to var form = $("#form1") and it should work.
I recommend you open the webpage in chrome dev tools and click the network tab, click preserve log and then submit the form. When it is submitted you'll see the full headers that were sent to the server and can verify it works correctly to help narrow down the problem
