Trouble with jquery email form submitHandler
- by Robert
Here is the code I'm using for the submitHandler:
submitHandler: function() {
$('.holder').fadeOut('slow');
$('#loading').fadeIn('slow');
$.post('email.php',{name:$('#em_name').val(), email:$('#em_email').val(), message:$('#em_message').val()},
function(data){
$('#loading').css({display:'none'});
if( data == 'success') {
$('#callback').show().append('Message delivered successfully');
$('#emailform').slideUp('slow');
} else {
$('#callback').show().append('Sorry but your message could not be sent, try again later');
}
});
}
This isn't working when used in conjunction with this php:
<?php $name = stripcslashes($_POST['name']);
$emailAddr = stripcslashes($_POST['email']);
$message = stripcslashes($_POST['message']);
$email = "Message: $message \r \n From: $name \r \n Reply to: $emailAddr";
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Message from example';
//validate the email address on the server side
if(eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $emailAddr) ) {
//if successful lets send the message
mail($to, $subject, $email);
echo('success'); //return success callback
} else {
echo('An invalid email address was entered'); //email was not valid
}
?>
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this isn't working like it should. It seems to just lock up when I submit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
