theme php contact form

I purchased several themes so that I could build two websites. the theme that I like the most comes with a non-functional contact form. I have tried to integrate the contact forms from the other themes into it but they will not work no matter what I do. I know that one of them works fine because I am using it on another site and it works with no issue. (for transparency the working form is being used in the theme that it came with.) is there a possibility that I am missing something?
I've copied and pasted the exact forms into the theme site and included the Js files that deal with the contact form and all I can get are errors when I try to test it live.
this is the code for the form:
<section id="contact" class="contact">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<h3 class="title-normal">Contact Form</h3>
<form id="contact-form" action="contact-form.php" method="post" role="form">
<div class="error-container"></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Name</label>
<input class="form-control form-control-name" name="name" id="name" placeholder="" type="text" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Email</label>
<input class="form-control form-control-email" name="email" id="email" placeholder="" type="email" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Subject</label>
<input class="form-control form-control-subject" name="subject" id="subject" placeholder="" required>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Message</label>
<textarea class="form-control form-control-message" name="message" id="message" placeholder="" rows="10" required></textarea>
</div>
<div class="text-right"><br>
<button class="btn btn-primary solid blank" type="submit">Send Message</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
this is a copy of the php:
<?php
//Add your information here
$recipient = "info#domain.us";
//Don't edit anything below this line
//import form information
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$name=stripslashes($name);
$email=stripslashes($email);
$subject=stripslashes($subject);
$message=stripslashes($message);
$message= "Name: $name, Subject: $subject \n\n Message: $message";
/*
Simple form validation
check to see if an email and message were entered
*/
//if no message entered and no email entered print an error
if (empty($message) && empty($email)){
print "No email address and no message was entered. <br>Please include an email and a message";
}
//if no message entered send print an error
elseif (empty($message)){
print "No message was entered.<br>Please include a message.<br>";
}
//if no email entered send print an error
elseif (empty($email)){
print "No email address was entered.<br>Please include your email. <br>";
}
//mail the form contents
if(mail("$recipient", "$subject", "$message", "From: $email" )) {
// Email has sent successfully, echo a success page.
echo '<div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissable fade in">
<button type = "button" class = "close" data-dismiss = "alert" aria-hidden = "true">×</button>
<p>Email Sent Successfully! We Will get back to you shortly</p></div>';
} else {
echo 'ERROR!';
}
here is the Js
$('#contact-form').submit(function(){
var $form = $(this),
$error = $form.find('.error-container'),
action = $form.attr('action');
$error.slideUp(750, function() {
$error.hide();
var $name = $form.find('.form-control-name'),
$email = $form.find('.form-control-email'),
$subject = $form.find('.form-control-subject'),
$message = $form.find('.form-control-message');
$.post(action, {
name: $name.val(),
email: $email.val(),
subject: $subject.val(),
message: $message.val()
},
function(data){
$error.html(data);
$error.slideDown('slow');
if (data.match('success') != null) {
$name.val('');
$email.val('');
$subject.val('');
$message.val('');
}
}
);
});
return false;
});

Form submission success message not displaying

I have a fully working html contact page, with a php email script, with recaptcha 2 - all of these work perfectly.
Previously, the form redirected to the php file, which showed a basic success message. Again, this worked fine.
I've tried incorporating a contact.js file onto the page, and the form submission still works, but the success message in the PHP script isn't being displayed.
I'm an idiot when it comes to JS so that's probably the issue, but any help would be gratefully received.
Here's the HTML, PHP and JS:
<form id="contact-form" method="post" action="#" role="form">
<div class="messages"></div>
<div class="controls">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-7">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_name">Name *</label>
<input id="form_name" type="text" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your name *" required="required" data-error="Name is required">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_email">Email *</label>
<input id="form_email" type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your email address *" required="required" data-error="A valid email is required">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">

<input id="form_phone" type="tel" name="phone" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter a contact telephone number (optional)">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>

<br><p class="text-muted"><strong>*</strong> These fields are required.</p>
</form>
PHP:
<?php
$sendTo = "email#email.com";
$subject = "New message from email.com";
$headers .= 'From: <enquiries#email.com' . "\r\n";
$name = #$_POST['name'];
$phone = #$_POST['phone'];
$email = #$_POST['email'];
$message = #$_POST['message'];
$okMessage = 'Thank you for your message. One of the team will be in touch as soon as possible.';
$errorMessage = 'There was an error while submitting the form. Please try again later';$url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify';

$encoded = json_encode($responseArray);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $encoded;
}
else {
echo $responseArray;
}
JS:
$(function () {
$('#contact-form').validator();
$('#contact-form').on('submit', function (e) {
if (!e.isDefaultPrevented()) {
var url = "contact.php";
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function (data)
{
var messageAlert = 'alert-' + data.type;
var messageText = data.message;
var alertBox = '<div class="alert ' + messageAlert + ' alert-dismissable"><button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-hidden="true">×</button>' + messageText + '</div>';
if (messageAlert && messageText) {
$('#contact-form').find('.messages').html(alertBox);
$('#contact-form')[0].reset();
grecaptcha.reset();
}
}
});
return false;
}
})
});
Any help greatly appreciated!

Would:
if (messageAlert && messageText) {
$('#contact-form').find('.messages').html(alertBox);
$('#contact-form')[0].reset();
grecaptcha.reset();
}
this not clear the message you are trying to invoke?
since the class messages is the first child on "#contact-form" would it not always reset the messages you put in immediately, after putting in the data in the line before?
Also, why aren't you just toggling a modal or a popup instead of injecting an entire div dynamically? this seems like a lot of work, for something that could be done more easily with pre-loaded html? Or am I missing something obvious?
I am assuming of course that the alert, is the "success" message. But why call it an alert in your code? Why not call it successmessage? Using proper terminology will help yourself and others read your code later ;)
There is an option in the ajax method to have seperate functions for failures and successes.
I hope I helped, even if I am wrong about why you don't see your text.
try adding
if (messageAlert && messageText) {
alert("Test");
$('#contact-form').find('.messages').html(alertBox);
$('#contact-form')[0].reset();
grecaptcha.reset();
}

PHP Contact Form Submission (Honey Pot)

New to PHP hence the very basic question. I'm trying to create a contact form that has a Honey Pot attribute built in. I want to check this honey pot value in both JS and PHP before submission.
Cases:
If no fields are filled out JS error don't Submit
If all fields are filled out BUT Honey Pot, Pass through JS, POST to PHP and send email
If all fields are filled out fail on JS and don't POST, HOWEVER I would like this to also be applicable to the PHP even if it's redundant just to understand PHP better.
Problem:
The JS validation is fine and I check .val of the input field. However I cannot seem to get the same validation in PHP to work.
index.html (contact form) *using jQuery Validate:
<form id="contactForm" method="GET" action="" class="contact-form" novalidate="novalidate">
<div class="input-field col s12">

<label for="name">Name</label>
</div>

Newbe: ajax form not working

I'm new in ajax/js/php.
I have a small contact form
<form id="contact-form" method="post" action="process.php" role="form">
<div class="messages"></div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_name">First name *</label>
<input id="form_firstname" type="text" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your first name *" required="required" data-error="Firstname is required.">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_lastname">Last name *</label>
<input id="form_lastname" type="text" name="surname" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your last name *" required="required" data-error="Lastname is required.">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_email">Email *</label>
<input id="form_email" type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your email *" required="required" data-error="Valid email is required.">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_phone">Phone</label>
<input id="form_phone" type="tel" name="phone" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your phone">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<p><strong>*</strong> These fields are required.</p>
</form>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info" value="Create Account">Create Account</button>
with small js and php
script.js
$("#contact-form").submit(function(event) {
// cancels the form submission
"use strict";
event.preventDefault();
submitForm();
});
function submitForm() {
// Initiate Variables With Form Content
"use strict";
var firstname = $("#form_firstname").val();
var lastname = $("#form_lastname").val();
var email = $("#email").val();
var phone = $("#phone").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "process.php",
data: "name=" + firstname + lastname + "&email=" + email + "&phone=" + phone,
});
}
process.php
<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$phone = $_POST["phone"];
$EmailTo = "name#email.com";
$Subject = "New Message Received";
// prepare email body text
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $phone;
$Body .= "\n";
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From:".$email);
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
echo "success";
} else {
echo "invalid";
}
?>
for some reason it's not working on way I would like to, not sending me emails (i know to put my email in $Emailto).
Often I was using only php form but I would like to avoid reloading page. I try to understand where I'm making error.

$('#contact-form').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "process.php",
data:$(this).serialize(), //get form values
}).done(function(data){
console.log(data); // will contain success or invalid
});
});

Change your submit function to:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contact-form").submit(function(event){
"use strict";
event.preventDefault(); // cancels the form submission
var firstname = $("#form_firstname").val();
var lastname = $("#form_lastname").val();
var email = $("#form_email").val();
var phone = $("#form_phone").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "process.php",
data: {
name: firstname + lastname, //or firstname + " " + lastname if you want the first and lastname to be separated by a space
email: email,
phone: phone
}
}).done(function(data){
console.log(data); // will contain success or invalid
});
});
});
The values you were trying to get for email and phone were not properly defined (they were lacking the form_).
And you cannot use a querystring with a POST type only when using a GET type.

How do I force form submit with Jquery

Wish you all a happy 2015!
I have a simple contact us php form. I am validating it with parsley.js. The validation works fine but I am receiving a lot of spam mails.
I believe if I can force the form to be submitted only if Jquery is enabled, then it should solve my problem (right?).
I'm not an expert with PhP/ Jquery and any help will be appreciated.
Here is my PHP code
<?php
// Define Variables i.e. name tag, as per form and set to empty
$contact_name = $contact_email = $contact_phone = $contact_message = "";
// Sanitize data and use friendly names
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$name = test_input($_POST["contact_name"]);
$email = test_input($_POST["contact_email"]);
$phone = test_input($_POST["contact_phone"]);
$message = test_input($_POST["contact_message"]);
}
function test_input($data) {
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;
}
// Set values
$to = 'info#foryourservice.in';
$subject = 'New Message from Website';
$headers = 'From: info#domainname.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: info#domainname.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
// Set Email content
$emailcontent = "A new message has been submitted from the website.
\n
Name : $name
Email : $email
Phone : $phone
Message : $message";
// Mail function
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$emailcontent,$headers);
if($send_contact){
header('Location: index.php#contactusform');
}
else {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('We encountered an ERROR! Please go back and try again.');</script>";
}
?>
Here is my HTML ( Im using Twitter Bootstrap)
<form role="form" method="POST" action="contactusform.php" id="contactusform" data-parsley-validate>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="form-group" style="margin-bottom: -5px">
<label for="input1"></label>
<input type="text" name="contact_name" class="form-control" id="input1" placeholder="Name*" required data-parsley-required-message="Please enter your name">
</div>
<div class="form-group" style="margin-bottom: -5px">
<label for="input2"></label>
<input type="email" name="contact_email" class="form-control" id="input2" placeholder="Email Address*" data-parsley-trigger="change" required data-parsley-required-message="Please enter a valid Email address">
</div>
<div class="form-group" style="margin-bottom: -5px">
<label for="input3"></label>
<input type="tel" name="contact_phone" class="form-control" id="input3" placeholder="Phone Number*" required data-parsley-type="digits" data-parsley-minlength="10" data-parsley-maxlength="10" data-parsley-required-message="Please enter a 10 digit number">
</div>
<br>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" id="contactbutton" class="btn btn-primary" style="background-color: #A8B645; border-color: transparent">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input4"></label>
<textarea name="contact_message" class="form-control" rows="7" id="input4" placeholder="Message*" required required data-parsley-required-message="Say something!"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</form>
This is what the Spam Email looks like :
A new message has been submitted from the website.
Name : お買い得アナスイ ミロード大壳り出しランキング
Email : rsilau#gmail.com
Phone : お買い得アナスイ ミロード大壳り出しランキング
Message : Shoppers takes the boast on bag
お買い得アナスイ ミロード大壳り出しランキング http://www.frkapaun.org/dyqfmnwg/ysl-annasuixmraAekm.asp

Add a hidden field to your form:
<input type="hidden" value="0" id="botcheck" name="botcheck" />
Then with jQuery set the value to 1:
$("#botcheck").val("1");
Then server-side check the value of $_POST["botcheck"].

You might want to check if your form is submitted using ajax:
if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
//Process form here
}
