I am trying to get the results of an ajax request in wordpress, but I am getting result of '0' in an alert box of javascript, so the form looks like this:
<form class="form" id="ajax-contact-form" action="#">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name" required="">
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</form>
The javascript looks like this:
$('#ajax-contact-form').submit(function(e){
$.ajax({
data: {action: 'contact_form'},
type: 'post',
url: ajaxurl,
success: function(data) {
alert(data); // This prints '0', I want this to print whatever name the user inputs in the form.
}
});
})
And the PHP:
add_action('wp_ajax_contact_form', 'contact_form');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_contact_form', 'contact_form');
function contact_form()
{
echo $_POST['name'];
}
Does anyone know if the code above is correct, I have also tried $_REQUEST['name'] and it doesnt work.
Thanks soo much,
