Tell me please, there is a form for sending data to the database. Without a script it works fine, but nothing happens with the script. In the console — Form Data has all the data, and the 200th code arrives, but is not added to the database.
PHP:
<?php
$data = $_POST;
if (isset($data['add'])) {
$posts = R::dispense('posts');
$posts->head = $data['head'];
$posts->desc = $data['desc'];
R::store($posts);
}
?>
HTML:
<form method="POST" id="FormID">
<input type="text" name="head" required />
<input type="text" name="desc" required />
<button type="submit" name="add">Добавить</button>
JS:
<script>
$("#FormID").submit(function(e)
{
var form = $(this);
var url = form.attr('action');
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $("#FormID").serialize(),
success: function(data)
{
c = "hello";
$('#FormStatus').text(c);
}
});
});
</script>
You said:
if (isset($data['add'])) {
So the code only does anything if add in the data.
<button type="submit" name="add">Добавить</button>
add is a submit button. It will be included in the data when you submit the form.
data: $("#FormID").serialize(),
You aren't submitting the form. jQuery serialize does not include submit buttons because they aren't successful controls when you aren't submitting the form.
Use some other mechanism to determine if there is data to process (such as the presence of head and desc.
You have forget the action for your form
Why don't simply use $data['name'] instead of R::dispense?
If you what to do a POST request why don't you use $.post()?
What you need is these:
PHP Code:
<?php
$data = $_POST;
if (isset($data['add'])) {
if(isset($data['head']) AND !empty($data['head']) AND isset($data['desc']) AND !empty($data['desc'])) {
$head = htmlspecialchars($data['head']);
$desc = htmlspecialchars($data['desc']);
echo "Hello from server";
}
else {
echo "Please fill the form";
}
}
?>
HTML:
<form method="POST" id="FormID" action="path_to_php_file.php">
<input type="text" name="head" required />
<input type="text" name="desc" required />
<button type="submit" name="add">Добавить</button>
</form>
JS:
<script>
$("#FormID").submit(function(e)
{
e.preventDefault();
var form = $(this),
url = form.attr('action');
var data = {};
// To have post paramaters like
// { 'head' : 'Head value', 'desc' : 'Desc value' }
$.each(form.serializeArray(), function(i, field) {
data[field.name] = field.value;
});
$.post(url, data, function(Responses) {
// Will write "Hello from server" in your console
console.log(Responses);
});
});
</script>
I'm not expert with Jquery. I've built a 4 steps html form like
<form id="msform" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<fieldset id="publish1" data-check-id="1">
//some inputs
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="publish2" data-check-id="2">
//some inputs
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="publish3" data-check-id="3">
//some inputs
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="publish4" data-check-id="4">
<input type="submit" class="submit action-button pull-right top-35" value="Publish"/>
</fieldset>
</form>
and after writing some Jquery validation in my .js file, I've tried to pass my data to a php file through ajax. My formData function looks like this:
<script>
function formData() {
var serializedValues = jQuery("#msform").serialize();
var form_data = {
action: 'ajax_data',
type: 'post',
data: serializedValues,
};
jQuery.post('mypath/insert.php', form_data); //where data should be sent
return true;
}
</script>
Searching around I've tried to build the php file receiving data with this structure:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['data'])) {
post_things();
return true;
}
function post_things() {
$title = trim($_POST['form_title']);
// where form_title is the input[name] of what I want get, serialised into jquery serializedValues variable
//other similar inputs
//do something with $title and other $variables
}
?>
I've initialized validation and ajax functions doing something as following:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
msform_init(); //this validate form step by step (it's working!)
$('#msform').submit(function (event) {
if (form_completeCheck() && true) { //This check if something empty
formData();
if (formData() && true) {
window.location.replace("//some redirection to success");
} else {
window.location.replace("//some redirection to failure");
}
} else {
event.preventDefault();
}
})
})
</script>
The problem is that when I click on submit I got redirected to a page where the url is mypath? ALL_MY_DATA_SERIALISED.
Where is my error? I can't see it due to my ignorance. Is in the jquery/ajax functions, in the php file or in my html?
Thank you in advance for your help.
You just need to do event.preventDefault() in the top of your event listener:
$('#msform').submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
if(form_completeCheck() && true){ //This check if something empty
formData();
if(formData() && true){
window.location.replace("//some redirection to success");
} else {
window.location.replace("//some redirection to failure");
}
}
})
HTML Script
<form id="msform" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="do_action"/>
<fieldset id="publish1" data-check-id="1">
//some inputs
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="publish2" data-check-id="2">
//some inputs
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="publish3" data-check-id="3">
//some inputs
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="publish4" data-check-id="4">
<input type="button" id="do_action" class="submit action-button pull-right top-35" value="Publish"/>
</fieldset>
</form>
JavaScript
$("#do_action").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
data:$("#msform").serialize();
url:'<<php script url>>',
success:function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
});
php script
<?php
if(isset($_POST['action'])){
post_things($_POST);
return true;
}
function post_things($request){
echo "<pre>";
print_r($request);
echo "</pre>";
}
?>
The reason you get redirected is because you are submitting the form.
Since in your <form id="msform" enctype="multipart/form-data"> you define no action it is submitted to itself.
You must prevent form from submitting using preventDefault().
$('#msform').submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault(); //Add this line
..............
I followed a tutorial to adapt the code. Here I am trying trying to auto-populate my form fields with AJAX when an 'ID' value is provided. I am new to Jquery and can't get to work this code.
Edit 1 : While testing the code, Jquery isn't preventing the form to submit and sending the AJAX request.
HTML form
<form id="form-ajax" action="form-ajax.php">
<label>ID:</label><input type="text" name="ID" /><br />
<label>Name:</label><input type="text" name="Name" /><br />
<label>Address:</label><input type="text" name="Address" /><br />
<label>Phone:</label><input type="text" name="Phone" /><br />
<label>Email:</label><input type="email" name="Email" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="fill from db" />
</form>
I tried changing Jquery code but still I couldn't get it to work. I think Jquery is creating a problem here. But I am unable to find the error or buggy code. Please it would be be very helpful if you put me in right direction.
Edit 2 : I tried using
return false;
instead of
event.preventDefault();
to prevent the form from submitting but still it isn't working. Any idea what I am doing wrong here ?
Jquery
jQuery(function($) {
// hook the submit action on the form
$("#form-ajax").submit(function(event) {
// stop the form submitting
event.preventDefault();
// grab the ID and send AJAX request if not (empty / only whitespace)
var IDval = this.elements.ID.value;
if (/\S/.test(IDval)) {
// using the ajax() method directly
$.ajax({
type : "GET",
url : ajax.php,
cache : false,
dataType : "json",
data : { ID : IDval },
success : process_response,
error: function(xhr) { alert("AJAX request failed: " + xhr.status); }
});
}
else {
alert("No ID supplied");
}
};
function process_response(response) {
var frm = $("#form-ajax");
var i;
console.dir(response); // for debug
for (i in response) {
frm.find('[name="' + i + '"]').val(response[i]);
}
}
});
Ajax.php
if (isset($_GET['action'])) {
if ($_GET['action'] == 'fetch') {
// tell the browser what's coming
header('Content-type: application/json');
// open database connection
$db = new PDO('mysql:dbname=test;host:localhost;', 'xyz', 'xyz');
// use prepared statements!
$query = $db->prepare('select * from form_ajax where ID = ?');
$query->execute(array($_GET['ID']));
$row = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
// send the data encoded as JSON
echo json_encode($row);
exit;
}
}
I don't see where you're parsing your json response into a javascript object (hash). This jQuery method should help. It also looks like you're not posting your form using jquery, but rather trying to make a get request. To properly submit the form using jquery, use something like this:
$.post( "form-ajax.php", $( "#form-ajax" ).serialize() );
Also, have you tried adding id attributes to your form elements?
<input type="text" id="name" name="name"/>
It would be easier to later reach them with
var element = $('#'+element_id);
If this is not a solution, can you post the json that is coming back from your request?
Replace the submit input with button:
<button type="button" id="submit">
Note the type="button".
It's mandatory to prevent form submition
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#submit").on("click", function(e) {
$.ajax({type:"get",
url: "ajax.php",
data: $("#form-ajax").serialize(),
dataType: "json",
success: process_response,
error: function(xhr) { alert("AJAX request failed: " + xhr.status); }
});
});
});
I have a Form
<script type="text/javascript" src="result.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<form name="form" method="POST" id="form">
<input type="text" value="" id="htno" name="htno" Maxlength="12" style="width:165px;" class="bodytext"></input>
<input type="button" value="Submit">
</form>
<div id="result" class="result"></div>
And result.js file is
$("#form").submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$("#result").html('');
var values = $(this).serialize();
$.ajax({
url: "url",
type: "post",
data: "htno=" + htno + "&code=2132",
success: function () {
alert("success");
$("#result").html('submitted successfully');
},
error: function () {
alert("failure");
$("#result").html('there is error while submit');
}
});
});
htno is the value the user enters through form
Data to be posted is htno & code
i am unable to get output using this, please can u tell me the fault . . . .
You should know that a form is submitted when the input type is submit.In your code change the type of button to submit.
just change the part
<input type="button" value="Submit" >
to
<input type="submit" value="Submit" >
and in your result.js remove this line
event.preventDefault();
because this line prevent your form from submitting without any reason.
try changing your
$("#form").submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
by
$(document).on('submit','#form',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
alto, try to alert data

Is there any way to integrate mailchimp simple (one email input) with AJAX, so there is no page refresh and no redirection to default mailchimp page.
This solution doesn't work jQuery Ajax POST not working with MailChimp
Thanks
You don't need an API key, all you have to do is plop the standard mailchimp generated form into your code ( customize the look as needed ) and in the forms "action" attribute change post?u= to post-json?u= and then at the end of the forms action append &c=? to get around any cross domain issue. Also it's important to note that when you submit the form you must use GET rather than POST.
Your form tag will look something like this by default:
<form action="http://xxxxx.us#.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=xxxxx&id=xxxx" method="post" ... >
change it to look something like this
<form action="http://xxxxx.us#.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post-json?u=xxxxx&id=xxxx&c=?" method="get" ... >
Mail Chimp will return a json object containing 2 values: 'result' - this will indicate if the request was successful or not ( I've only ever seen 2 values, "error" and "success" ) and 'msg' - a message describing the result.
I submit my forms with this bit of jQuery:
$(document).ready( function () {
// I only have one form on the page but you can be more specific if need be.
var $form = $('form');
if ( $form.length > 0 ) {
$('form input[type="submit"]').bind('click', function ( event ) {
if ( event ) event.preventDefault();
// validate_input() is a validation function I wrote, you'll have to substitute this with your own.
if ( validate_input($form) ) { register($form); }
});
}
});
function register($form) {
$.ajax({
type: $form.attr('method'),
url: $form.attr('action'),
data: $form.serialize(),
cache : false,
dataType : 'json',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
error : function(err) { alert("Could not connect to the registration server. Please try again later."); },
success : function(data) {
if (data.result != "success") {
// Something went wrong, do something to notify the user. maybe alert(data.msg);
} else {
// It worked, carry on...
}
}
});
}
Based on gbinflames' answer, I kept the POST and URL, so that the form would continue to work for those with JS off.
<form class="myform" action="http://XXXXXXXXXlist-manage2.com/subscribe/post" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="XXXXXXXXX">
<input class="input" type="text" value="" name="MERGE1" placeholder="First Name" required>
<input type="submit" value="Send" name="submit" id="mc-embedded-subscribe">
</form>
Then, using jQuery's .submit() changed the type, and URL to handle JSON repsonses.
$('.myform').submit(function(e) {
var $this = $(this);
$.ajax({
type: "GET", // GET & url for json slightly different
url: "http://XXXXXXXX.list-manage2.com/subscribe/post-json?c=?",
data: $this.serialize(),
dataType : 'json',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
error : function(err) { alert("Could not connect to the registration server."); },
success : function(data) {
if (data.result != "success") {
// Something went wrong, parse data.msg string and display message
} else {
// It worked, so hide form and display thank-you message.
}
}
});
return false;
});
You should use the server-side code in order to secure your MailChimp account.
The following is an updated version of this answer which uses PHP:
The PHP files are "secured" on the server where the user never sees them yet the jQuery can still access & use.
1) Download the PHP 5 jQuery example here...
http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/downloads/mcapi-simple-subscribe-jquery.zip
If you only have PHP 4, simply download version 1.2 of the MCAPI and replace the corresponding MCAPI.class.php file above.
http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/downloads/mailchimp-api-class-1-2.zip
2) Follow the directions in the Readme file by adding your API key and List ID to the store-address.php file at the proper locations.
3) You may also want to gather your users' name and/or other information. You have to add an array to the store-address.php file using the corresponding Merge Variables.
Here is what my store-address.php file looks like where I also gather the first name, last name, and email type:
<?php
function storeAddress(){
require_once('MCAPI.class.php'); // same directory as store-address.php
// grab an API Key from http://admin.mailchimp.com/account/api/
$api = new MCAPI('123456789-us2');
$merge_vars = Array(
'EMAIL' => $_GET['email'],
'FNAME' => $_GET['fname'],
'LNAME' => $_GET['lname']
);
// grab your List's Unique Id by going to http://admin.mailchimp.com/lists/
// Click the "settings" link for the list - the Unique Id is at the bottom of that page.
$list_id = "123456a";
if($api->listSubscribe($list_id, $_GET['email'], $merge_vars , $_GET['emailtype']) === true) {
// It worked!
return 'Success! Check your inbox or spam folder for a message containing a confirmation link.';
}else{
// An error ocurred, return error message
return '<b>Error:</b> ' . $api->errorMessage;
}
}
// If being called via ajax, autorun the function
if($_GET['ajax']){ echo storeAddress(); }
?>
4) Create your HTML/CSS/jQuery form. It is not required to be on a PHP page.
Here is something like what my index.html file looks like:
<form id="signup" action="index.html" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="ajax" value="true" />
First Name: <input type="text" name="fname" id="fname" />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" id="lname" />
email Address (required): <input type="email" name="email" id="email" />
HTML: <input type="radio" name="emailtype" value="html" checked="checked" />
Text: <input type="radio" name="emailtype" value="text" />
<input type="submit" id="SendButton" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<div id="message"></div>
<script src="jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#signup').submit(function() {
$("#message").html("<span class='error'>Adding your email address...</span>");
$.ajax({
url: 'inc/store-address.php', // proper url to your "store-address.php" file
data: $('#signup').serialize(),
success: function(msg) {
$('#message').html(msg);
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
Required pieces...
index.html constructed as above or similar. With jQuery, the appearance and options are endless.
store-address.php file downloaded as part of PHP examples on Mailchimp site and modified with your API KEY and LIST ID. You need to add your other optional fields to the array.
MCAPI.class.php file downloaded from Mailchimp site (version 1.3 for PHP 5 or version 1.2 for PHP 4). Place it in the same directory as your store-address.php or you must update the url path within store-address.php so it can find it.
For anyone looking for a solution on a modern stack:
import jsonp from 'jsonp';
import queryString from 'query-string';
// formData being an object with your form data like:
// { EMAIL: 'emailofyouruser#gmail.com' }
jsonp(`//YOURMAILCHIMP.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe/post-json?u=YOURMAILCHIMPU&${queryString.stringify(formData)}`, { param: 'c' }, (err, data) => {
console.log(err);
console.log(data);
});
Based on gbinflames' answer, this is what worked for me:
Generate a simple mailchimp list sign up form , copy the action URL and method (post) to your custom form. Also rename your form field names to all capital ( name='EMAIL' as in original mailchimp code, EMAIL,FNAME,LNAME,... ), then use this:
$form=$('#your-subscribe-form'); // use any lookup method at your convenience
$.ajax({
type: $form.attr('method'),
url: $form.attr('action').replace('/post?', '/post-json?').concat('&c=?'),
data: $form.serialize(),
timeout: 5000, // Set timeout value, 5 seconds
cache : false,
dataType : 'jsonp',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
error : function(err) { // put user friendly connection error message },
success : function(data) {
if (data.result != "success") {
// mailchimp returned error, check data.msg
} else {
// It worked, carry on...
}
}
As for this date (February 2017), it seems that mailchimp has integrated something similar to what gbinflames suggests into their own javascript generated form.
You don't need any further intervention now as mailchimp will convert the form to an ajax submitted one when javascript is enabled.
All you need to do now is just paste the generated form from the embed menu into your html page and NOT modify or add any other code.
This simply works. Thanks MailChimp!
Use jquery.ajaxchimp plugin to achieve that. It's dead easy!
<form method="post" action="YOUR_SUBSCRIBE_URL_HERE">
<input type="text" name="EMAIL" placeholder="e-mail address" />
<input type="submit" name="subscribe" value="subscribe!" />
<p class="result"></p>
</form>
JavaScript:
$(function() {
$('form').ajaxChimp({
callback: function(response) {
$('form .result').text(response.msg);
}
});
})
This Github code works perfectly for me. This has a detailed explanation of how to use it. I use it on my WP site. Here is the link -
https://gist.github.com/DmitriyRF/34f659dbbc02637cf7465e2efdd37ef5
In the other hand, there is some packages in AngularJS which are helpful (in AJAX WEB):
https://github.com/cgarnier/angular-mailchimp-subscribe
I wasn't able to get this working with fetch so had to combine a few answers here using GET and parsing form inputs into the query string for the URL. It also wasn't necessary for the name of the input to be EMAIL but I guess it makes it more legible and doesn't break the code (in this simple case. Play around if you have other form fields).
Here's my code;
<form action="https://me.usxx.list-manage.com/subscribe/post-json?" id="signup" method="GET">
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"/>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="xxxxxxxxx"/>
<input type="hidden" name="c" value="?"/>
<input name="EMAIL" type="text" />
</form>
// Form submission handler
const formData = new FormData(signup);
fetch(signup.action + new URLSearchParams(formData).toString(), {
mode: 'no-cors',
method: signup.method,
})
.then((res) => {
// Success
})
.catch((e) => {
// Error
})
You could make it no-js friendly with...
<form action="https://me.usxx.list-manage.com/subscribe/post" id="signup">
fetch(signup.action + '-json?' + new URLSearchParams(formData).toString(), {
And just to save those who fumbled around as I did needlessly, you must create a signup form for an Audience within Mailchimp and by visiting that page you can get your u value and id as well as the action. Maybe this was just me but I thought that wasn't explicitly clear.
