I don't think I am passing the variable the right way between my separate PHP and AJAX files.
I am debugging this by triggering the second condition $status = 'info';
in my PHP file.
Currently, status
is coming up as "undefined" for alert(data.status);
signup_process.php
if (condition){
$status = 'success';
else {
$status = 'info';
}
AJAX
function send() {
var data = $('#signup_form').serialize();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "signup_process.php",
data: data,
success: function (data) {
alert(data.status);
if (data.status == 'success') {
// everything went alright, submit
$('#signup_form').submit();
} else if (data.status == 'info')
{
console.log(data.status);
$("label#email_error").show();
return false;
}
}
});
return false;
};
I know that the 2nd condition is being triggered because I put a header redirect there just for testing and it worked fine.
