I am currently using php in my html page and there is an action in the same page which gets executed upon form submission. Currently whole form gets reloaded while I want the php action to be run in the background with out reloading. How do I do it. I would also want to clear the text box after submit button is clicked. Following is the code I am currently using
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="post" role="form">
<input type="email" placeholder="Enter email" name="email_address">
<button class="btn btn-primary custom-button red-btn">Sign Up</button>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email_address']) !(trim($_POST['email_address']) == ''))
// do some action
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Note: Following code worked for me
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#contactForm').submit(function () {
$.post("mailer.php",$("#contactForm").serialize(), function(data){
});
return false;
});
</script>
You need to use AJAX for this, for without reloading. Or, if you want to do it without disturbing the page, you need to set target.
Using AJAX
$("form").submit(function(){
$.post($(this).attr("action"), $(this).serialize());
return false;
});
Using target
<form action="index.php" method="post" role="form" target="_blank">
Using ajax
HTML
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myform"><!--changge-->
<input type="email" placeholder="Enter email" name="email_address">
<button class="btn btn-primary custom-button red-btn" id="signup">Sign Up</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#signup').click(function()
{
$.ajax({
url:'index.php',
method:'post',
data : $('#myform').serialize(),
success:function()
{
}
)};
);
});
</script>
You can try this
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myform" action="index.php"><!--changge-->
<input type="email" placeholder="Enter email" name="email_address">
<button class="btn btn-primary custom-button red-btn" id="signup">
Sign Up</button>
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#signup').click(function(){
$.post($(this).attr("action"), $("#myform").serialize(),function(response){
alert(response) // you can get the success response return by php after submission success
});
)};
});
