I have this html markup:
<form id="ajax-contact" method="post" action="mailer.php">

<input type="text" id="name" class="contact" name="name" placeholder="Name" required>

<div class="field">
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
</div>
<div class="field">
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</div>
</form>
this jQuery (for the AJAX call):
$(function() {
// Get the form.
var form = $('#ajax-contact');
// Get the messages div.
var formMessages = $('#form-messages');
// Set up an event listener for the contact form.
$(form).submit(function(e) {
// Stop the browser from submitting the form.
e.preventDefault();
// Serialize the form data.
var formData = $(form).serialize();
// Submit the form using AJAX.
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: $(form).attr('action'),
data: formData
})
.done(function(response) {
// Make sure that the formMessages div has the 'success' class.
$(formMessages).removeClass('error');
$(formMessages).addClass('success');
// Set the message text.
$(formMessages).text(response);
// Clear the form.
$('#name').val('');
$('#email').val('');
$('#message').val('');
})
.fail(function(data) {
// Make sure that the formMessages div has the 'error' class.
$(formMessages).removeClass('success');
$(formMessages).addClass('error');
// Set the message text.
if (data.responseText !== '') {
$(formMessages).text(data.responseText);
} else {
$(formMessages).text('Oops! An error occured and your message could not be sent.');
}
});
});
});
and this mailer.php file:
<?php

http_response_code(500);
echo "Oops! Something went wrong and we couldn't send your message.";
}
} else {
// Not a POST request, set a 403 (forbidden) response code.
http_response_code(403);
echo "There was a problem with your submission, please try again.";
}
?>
The issue is that after I press the submit button, I receive this message:
Oops! An error occured and your message could not be sent.
When I check the console I see this error:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) which is the mailer.php file.
However, when I check my inbox I see the email submitted in the form.
I can not figure out what is going wrong, can someone tell how can I fix this issue?
Thank you!
You are using the wrong error number - 500 is reserved for faults in code (hence why internal server error).
Even for security reasons, always send 200 however when mail returns false, log the email in a text file. Together with the get_last_error function, so that you can properly analyze your issue.
Hope this helps.

This is a password recovery form through HTML page that post data to PHP file via AJAX. Everything is okay with the code except once submitted and response recived, form input fields don't clear.

You can use JavaScript's .reset() function on the form element which will clear all input fields.
I found the answer, just removed http_response_code()
for all if statments .
Thx all for your help. I can sleep now knowing my day is not wasted :)
I'm trying to add Google's invisible recaptcha in my website. It is basically for a contact us form where the user submits his name, email and message and on clicking submit will trigger a mail to us.
I planned to take care of the mail part using php. However, I am not able to get past submitting the form in jquery.
This is my html :
<div class="row">
<script src="mail.js"></script>
<form id="main-contact-form" name="contact-form">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea name="message" class="form-control" rows="2" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
</div>
<button class="g-recaptcha btn btn-primary" data-sitekey="6LdGAiQUAAAAAHeNXI3yDSsZhLAJs7U1HX_zXm8o" data-callback="onSubmit" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
The onSubmit callback:
function onSubmit(response) {
var request;
console.log('here');
document.getElementById('main-contact-form').submit();
}
The jQuery code for passing the submitted form to the php where verification of the captcha is done mail is sent:
$("#main-contact-form").submit(function(event) {
// Prevent default posting of form - put here to work in case of errors
event.preventDefault();
console.log('in here');
// Abort any pending request
if (request) {
request.abort();
}
// setup some local variables
var $form = $(this);
// Let's select and cache all the fields
var $inputs = $form.find("input, select, button, textarea");
// Serialize the data in the form
var serializedData = $form.serialize();
// Let's disable the inputs for the duration of the Ajax request.
// Note: we disable elements AFTER the form data has been serialized.
// Disabled form elements will not be serialized.
$inputs.prop("disabled", true);
// Fire off the request to /form.php
request = $.ajax({
url: "/form.php",
type: "post",
data: serializedData
});
// Callback handler that will be called on success
request.done(function(response, textStatus, jqXHR) {
// Log a message to the console
console.log("Hooray, it worked!");
});
// Callback handler that will be called on failure
request.fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
// Log the error to the console
console.error(
"The following error occurred: " +
textStatus, errorThrown
);
});
// Callback handler that will be called regardless
// if the request failed or succeeded
request.always(function() {
// Reenable the inputs
$inputs.prop("disabled", false);
});
});
Php code for mailing:

$email=$_POST['email'];
}if(isset($_POST['message'])){
$message=$_POST['message'];
}if(isset($_POST['g-recaptcha-response'])){

}
if(!$captcha){
exit;
}
$secretKey = "secret key";
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$response=file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$secretKey."&response=".$captcha.);
$responseKeys = json_decode($response,true);
if(intval($responseKeys["success"]) !== 1) {
echo '<h2>Message could not be sent</h2>';
} else {
$name = #trim(stripslashes($name));
$from = #trim(stripslashes($email));
$subject = #trim(stripslashes('contact'));
$message = #trim(stripslashes($message));
$to = 'email#email.com';//replace with your email
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$headers[] = "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1";
$headers[] = "From: {$name} <{$from}>";
$headers[] = "Reply-To: <{$from}>";
$headers[] = "Subject: {$subject}";
$headers[] = "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo '<h2>Thanks for posting comment.</h2>';
}
?>
?>
The PHP code might not be correct and I am yet to work on that (I haven't used PHP before.).
Now, when I try to submit the form, the page reloads with the form as query params in the address bar. Even, when event.preventDefault() is given for when the form is submitted in the onSubmit callback of Recaptcha, it reloads the page.
Please help me with getting this working. Also I do not want to refresh the page when the form is submitted as I plan to use ajax for sending the form input to the php script.

PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail
(31 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm using a php mail script from http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/create-ajax-contact-form connected to a contact form on a website I'm building.
I have everything put together and it seems to function properly (doesn't display any errors), but I am not receiving most of the emails. If I test the contact form using one of my personal email accounts I will receive the message. If I use any other emails (for example something from http://www.fakemailgenerator.com) I won't receive anything. I've attached all of the code below. Is there something I'm missing that anyone can spot?
If it helps, the site is hosted in an AWS LAMP linux instance and the domain is with GoDaddy.
Thanks in advance.

I think it's simply Amazon that filter suspicious mail provider. Most of SMTP server comes with filters. Thoses filters prevents user to receive spam.
As said from Amazon FAQ :
Amazon SES uses in-house anti-spam/anti-virus technologies to filter email messages containing poor-quality content and prevent them from being sent.
Your message formatting is just wrong, I'm not going to begin to correct it. Use a library to do it right - you already tagged this question with PHPMailer, but you're not using it. Base your code on one of the examples provided with PHPMailer, not one you find elsewhere as nearly all are obsolete or wrong.
You're also forging the from address, so many services will just reject or bounce your messages. Send from your own address and put the submitter's address in reply-to.
Also ensure that your SPF record is configured correctly, and ideally sign your messages with DKIM too.
I have managed to get ReCaptcha 2.0 working in my website. However, it's only working when I don't use AJAX and I let the form submit "naturally".
I want to submit the form with the captcha and alert the user with a success note without refreshing the page.
I tried the following code, but it seems like the server doesn't get the user response:
HTML:
<form class="form" action="javascript:void(0)" novalidate>
<!-- all the inputs... -->
<!-- captcha -->
<div class="input-group">
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="6LdOPgYTAAAAAE3ltWQGar80KUavaR-JblgPZjDI"></div>
</div>
<div class="errors" id="errors" style="display: none"></div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="button" value="Send" class="btn-default right" id="submit">
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</form>
JS:
$('#submit').click(function(e) {
console.log('clicked submit'); // --> works
var $errors = $('#errors'),
$status = $('#status'),
name = $('#name').val().replace(/<|>/g, ""), // prevent xss
email = $('#email').val().replace(/<|>/g, ""),
msg = $('#message').val().replace(/<|>/g, "");
if (name == '' || email == '' || msg == '') {
valid = false;
errors = "All fields are required.";
}
// pretty sure the problem is here
console.log('captcha response: ' + grecaptcha.getResponse()); // --> captcha response:
if (!errors) {
// hide the errors
$errors.slideUp();
// ajax to the php file to send the mail
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://orenurbach.com/assets/sendmail.php",
data: "email=" + email + "&name=" + name + "&msg=" + msg + "&g-recaptcha-response=" + grecaptcha.getResponse()
}).done(function(status) {
if (status == "ok") {
// slide down the "ok" message to the user
$status.text('Thanks! Your message has been sent, and I will contact you soon.');
$status.slideDown();
// clear the form fields
$('#name').val('');
$('#email').val('');
$('#message').val('');
}
});
} else {
$errors.text(errors);
$errors.slideDown();
}
});
PHP:
<?php
// assemble the message from the POST fields
// getting the captcha
$captcha = '';
if (isset($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']))
$captcha = $_POST['g-recaptcha-response'];
echo 'captcha: '.$captcha;
if (!$captcha)
echo 'The captcha has not been checked.';
// handling the captcha and checking if it's ok
$secret = 'MY_SECRET';
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$secret."&response=".$captcha."&remoteip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']), true);
var_dump($response);
// if the captcha is cleared with google, send the mail and echo ok.
if ($response['success'] != false) {
// send the actual mail
#mail($email_to, $subject, $finalMsg);
// the echo goes back to the ajax, so the user can know if everything is ok
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'not ok';
}
?>
The result in the PHP page:
captcha: The captcha has not been checked.array(2) { ["success"]=> bool(false) ["error-codes"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(22) "missing-input-response" } } not ok
Bottom line is, how can I get the input response manually without it automatically going with the rest of the POST data?
Ok, this was pretty silly.
I have done a couple of things wrong:
In the PHP file, all the strings had single quotes on them, and that caused problems.
Throughout the testing, I added multiple printings of things in the PHP file, thus the if (status == "ok") was never working. I did get the emails but did not get any conformation that I did and now I see why.
When I wanted to check what the PHP file was omitting, I simply went to it's address in the URL and always got an error. Even when the mails were sent. Now I understand that that is not the correct way of checking the logs.
Thanks to #Samurai who helped my figure out things.
Final PHP code:
<?php
// assemble the message from the POST fields
// getting the captcha
$captcha = "";
if (isset($_POST["g-recaptcha-response"]))
$captcha = $_POST["g-recaptcha-response"];
if (!$captcha)
echo "not ok";
// handling the captcha and checking if it's ok
$secret = "MY_SECRET";
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$secret."&response=".$captcha."&remoteip=".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]), true);
// if the captcha is cleared with google, send the mail and echo ok.
if ($response["success"] != false) {
// send the actual mail
#mail($email_to, $subject, $finalMsg);
// the echo goes back to the ajax, so the user can know if everything is ok
echo "ok";
} else {
echo "not ok";
}
?>
In the following code, I have a contact form and in that form there is an email validation script. As a result of validation, I want the error message to be shown in a div called confirmation without reloading the page. Also, if the email is valid, the mail will be sent and I want the Thank you message to be shown in the same div confirmation. The problem is what can I do to prevent reloading the page and let the error message or the thanks message shows in the confirmation div?

There's no way you could do that with just PHP.
