Contact form with Aajax

Featured Replies

I'm trying to get a contact form up and running using AJAX and phpmailer on my Site but i am having some trouble. This is the ajax i use when the form is submitted

 


$(function() {
 $("#contact_form").submit(function() {
var name = $("input#name").val();
var email = $("input#email").val();
var phone = $("input#phone").val();
var reason = $("input#contact_reason").val();
var message = $("input#message").val();

var dataString = 'name='+ name + '&email=' + email + '&phone=' + phone + '&reason=' + reason + '&message=' + message;

	$.ajax({
     type: "POST",
     url: "/wp-content/themes/Portfolio/js/process.php",
     data: dataString,
     success: function() {
       $('#contact_form').html("<div id='message'></div>");
       $('#message').html("<h2  class='no-margin-title'>Contact Form Submitted!</h2>");
       $('#message').append("<img id='contact-tick' src='/wp-content/themes/Portfolio/images/tick.gif'/>")   
       .append("<h3>I will be in touch <span class='blog-sub-span'>soon</span></h3>")
       .hide()
       .fadeIn(1500, function() {
                 });
     }
    });
   return false;
});
});

 

And this is the process.php page i have used to set up the phpmailer

 

<?php
if ((isset($_POST['name'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['name'])) > 0)) {
$name = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['name']));
} else {$name = 'No name entered';}
if ((isset($_POST['email'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['email'])) > 0)) {
$email = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['email']));
} else {$email = 'No email entered';}
if ((isset($_POST['phone'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['phone'])) > 0)) {
$phone = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['phone']));
} else {$phone = 'No phone entered';}
if ((isset($_POST['reason'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['reason'])) > 0)) {
$name = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['reason']));
} else {$name = 'No reason entered';}
if ((isset($_POST['message'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['message'])) > 0)) {
$name = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['message']));
} else {$name = 'No message entered';}
ob_start();
?>

<?
$body = ob_get_contents();

require("phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->From = "ben.gibson.2011@gmail.com";
$mail->FromName = "Contact Form";
$mail->AddAddress("email_address@example.com","Name 1");
$mail->AddAddress("another_address@example.com","Name 2");

$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->IsHTML(true);

$mail->Subject  =  "Demo Form:  Contact form submitted";
$mail->Body     =  $body;
$mail->AltBody  =  "This is the text-only body";

if(!$mail->Send()) {
$recipient = 'your_email@example.com';
$subject = 'Contact form failed';
$content = $body;	
 mail($recipient, $subject, $content, "From: mail@yourdomain.com\r\nReply-To: $email\r\nX-Mailer: DT_formmail");
 exit;
}
?>
