PHPmailer not sending mail in only Firefox - javascript

I'm having a bit of an issue with my PHPmailer service. I've tested it multiple times in Internet Explorer and Chrome. It works great. It just doesn't send anything when I try Firefox.
My domain shows it has PTR set up as well. I've checked the logs, and I've gotten no problems. Kind of at a loss for what to do.

I have exactly the same thing. My mailer works with Chrome and Edge, but not Firefox. This cut-down code, called from the address bar, behaves the same:
$subject="FIREFOX test";
$scrnmess = "Howdee doodee";
$email="canthaveit.com";
$recipient="webmaster#waterfowl.org.uk";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: " . $email . "\r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $scrnmess, $headers);

my main.php file

<div class="col-md-4">

</form>
and my js is
function postData() {
const form = document.getElementById('form');
const data = new FormData();
data.append('FullName', form.FullName.value);

data.append('roleFor', form.roleFor.value);

throw new Error('Network response was not ok.');
} else
{
console.log(response);
alert('New job posted');
document.getElementById("form").reset();
}
}).catch(err => console.log(err));
}
and my sendEmail.php is
<?php
$fName = $_POST['FullName'];
$emailAddr = $_POST['Email'];

Now the issues are,
when I do <form action="sendEmail.php" id="form" method="post">, it is sending the email as expected, but when I try to post it through javascript (as shown in my code), it isn't sending an email, but to my surprise, the response status is 200 OK.
Please let me know where I'm going wrong.
Thanks

Your message is on the an another page because you use action="contact.php".
Try to remove that part of code.Also remove the portion with form
<input id="form_name" type="text" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your firstname *" required="required" data-error="Firstname is required.">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-send btn-danger-gradiant mt-3 mb-3 text-white border-0 py-2 px-3" onclick="addYourFunctionhere()" value="Send message"><span> SUBMIT NOW <i class="fa fa-paper-plane"></i></span></button>

function addYourFunctionhere(){
var getform_name= $("#form_name").val()
//and here use ajax to send the var from top
$.ajax({

url: url,
data: {"username":getform_name},
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);

form validation not validating

So I am trying to get validation to work on a simple contact form in the footer of my website, Even if I dont enter any text into any of the fields I get the confirmation message that form is sent.
any ideas would be great, also how can I get my confirmation message to appear inline without taking me onto a new page?

For a better security and best practices you have to check input validation for both client side and server side.
-> Here is how you can do it with HTML, JavaScript and PHP:
HTML: add 'required' inside the fields that you won't them to be empty and make sure email field type is 'email' not 'text' (type="email")
<div class="container">

JAVASCRIPT: use event listener instead of onclick so that you can prevent the form submission and check for empty fields and valid email address without sending data
const contactForm = document.getElementById('contact-form');
if (contactForm) {
contactForm.addEventListener('submit', validateForm);
}
function validateForm(e) {
var x = document.getElementById('name').value;
if (x == "") {
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Name cannot be empty";
e.preventDefault();
return;
}
x = document.getElementById('email').value;
if (x == "") {
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Email cannot be empty";
e.preventDefault();
return;
} else {
var re = /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s#"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s#"]+)*)|(".+"))#((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
if (!re.test(x)) {
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Email format invalid";
e.preventDefault();
return;
}
}
x = document.getElementById('subject').value;
if (x == "") {
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Subject cannot be empty";
e.preventDefault();
return;
}
x = document.getElementById('message').value;
if (x == "") {
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Message cannot be empty";
e.preventDefault();
return;
}
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Sending...";
}
PHP: Checking data is sent, then using htmlspecialchars func to Convert special characters to HTML entities OR strip_tags func to Strip HTML and PHP tags from a string and finally using filter_var to check email validation.
<?php
// Checking for sent fields
if(!isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['message'], $_POST['subject'])){
echo "Error! You have to fill in all required fields";
exit();
}
$name = htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']);
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
$message = htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']);
$subject = htmlspecialchars($_POST['subject']);
// Checking for empty fields
if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($message) || empty($subject)){
echo "Error! You have to fill in all required fields";
exit();
}
// Check email validation
if(filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
echo "Error! Email address considered invalid.";
exit();
}
$content="From: $name \n Email: $email \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "myemail#gmail.com";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $content, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Email sent!";
?>
You can use the required parameter in your input field like:
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" required>
Also in your email input field you can use the type email so you can also have email validation input in this field
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address" required>

Contact us form isn't sending all populated fields to email, only a few? PHP AJAX JS

So I've gone through a thread that helped me build this contact us form, but it talked about validating and making the fields required. There are two fields I have in my form that doesn't need to be required $organization and $budget, I can't seem to get the information in there to send with the email. The email shows those fields as blank but the other fields are populated.
I have practically zero experience in PHP outside of this form.
Expected output:
Name: xxx
Email: xxx#xxx.com
Organization: xxx
Budget: xxx
Message: xxx
What I actually receive in my email:
Name: xxx
Email: xxx#xxx.com
Organization:
Budget:
Message: xxx
Code:
<?php
$errorMSG = "";
// NAME
if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
$errorMSG = "Name is required ";
} else {
$name = $_POST["name"];
}
// EMAIL
if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
$errorMSG .= "Email is required ";
} else {
$email = $_POST["email"];
}
// Organization
$organization = $_POST["organization"];
// Budget
$budget = $_POST["budget"];
// MESSAGE
if (empty($_POST["message"])) {
$errorMSG .= "Message is required ";
} else {
$message = $_POST["message"];
}
$EmailTo = "example#mydomain.com";
$Subject = "Received msg from WIP contact form";
// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Organization: ";
$Body .= $organization;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Budget: ";
$Body .= $budget;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $message;
$Body .= "\n";
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From:".$email);
// redirect to success page
if ($success && $errorMSG == ""){
echo "success";
}else{
if($errorMSG == ""){
echo "Sorry, something went wrong.";
} else {
echo $errorMSG;
}
}
?>

}
EDIT
Thanks to Uxmal for suggesting the name="xxxx" in the input field. He said that by doing this, the $_POST is looking for inputs with name. Which made me realise I must be doing something else wrong. Turns out my ajax was poorly written and I was also missing the <form action aswell. Below is the corrected version of the form and ajax code.
<form action="form-process.php" method="POST" role="form" id="contactForm" data-toggle="validator" class="shake">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-sm-6">
<label for="name" class="h4">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Enter name" required>
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-sm-6">
<label for="email" class="h4">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter email" required>
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-sm-6">
<label for="organization" class="h4">Organization</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="organization" name="organization" placeholder="Enter organization name">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form group col-sm-6">
<label for="budget" class="h4">Budget</label>
<input type="number" class="form-control" id="budget" name="budget" placeholder="50000">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="message" class="h4">Message</label>
<textarea id="message" class="form-control" rows="5" name="message" placeholder="Enter your message" required></textarea>
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<button type="submit" id="form-submit" class="button pull-right ">Submit</button>
<div id="msgSubmit" class="h3 text-center hidden"></div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</form>
JS:
function submitForm(){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "php/form-process.php",
data: $('#contactForm').serialize(),
success: function(text) {
if (text == "success") {
formSuccess();
} else {
formError();
submitMSG(false, text);
}
}
});
}
You PHP code at line
// Organization
$organization = $_POST["organization"];
// Budget
$budget = $_POST["budget"];
looks for inputs with name: organization and budget, no to for id organization and budget.
At you html is
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="organization" placeholder="Enter organization">
<input type="number" class="form-control" id="budget" placeholder="$50000">
without a tag: name="organization" and tag: name="budget".
So put those tags like
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="organization" name="organization" placeholder="Enter organization">
<input type="number" class="form-control" id="budget" name="budget" placeholder="$50000">
and then your PHP code will get the data.

php doesn't add a div, it changes the page completely

I am trying to make a contact form in PHP and HTML. The code works but the problem is that is completely changes the page simply ruining the process of having only a single change: the div that goes on the bottom of the form. Here is my php file:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$title = $_POST['title'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$url = $_POST['url'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$human = intval($_POST['human']);
$from = 'Partner from Website';
$to = 'jordanwhite916#gmail.com';
$subject = 'VetConnexx Partner Inquiry';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Phone: $phone\n Message:\n $message";
// Check if name has been entered
if (!$_POST['name']) {
$errName = 'Please enter your name';
}
if (!$_POST['title']) {
$errTitle = 'Please enter your title';
}
if (!$_POST['phone']) {
$errPhone = 'Please enter your phone';
}
// Check if email has been entered and is valid
if (!$_POST['email'] || !filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$errEmail = 'Please enter a valid email address';
}
if (!$_POST['url'] || !filter_var($_POST['url'], FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
$errURL = 'Please enter a valid website';
}
//Check if message has been entered
if (!$_POST['message']) {
$errMessage = 'Please enter your message';
}
//Check if simple anti-bot test is correct
if ($human !== 5) {
$errHuman = 'Your anti-spam is incorrect';
}
// If there are no errors, send the email
if (!$errName && !$errEmail && !$errMessage && !$errHuman && !$errTitle && !$errPhone && !$errURL) {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
$result='<div class="success">Thank You! I will be in touch</div>';
} else {
$result='<div class="danger">Sorry there was an error sending your message. Please try again later</div>';
}
}
}

The link to the website I am trying to develop is located here: Go to Business Partners, and fill out the information in the contact form to see what may be wrong. I only want the div on the bottom to show after the Send button is click, not for a completely white page with black text and forms to come up that has the same content. Here's the link to the website:
http://www.sampsonvision.com/VetConnexxWebsite
I suggest you want to use AJAX call to your PHP file instead of a simple submission. Because after form submission, the only content appears on a page is that one which was generated by the script. Your script outputs only one div.
