In $.post request pass send value
$.post(action, {

Because your $value vehicle data is depended on if(isset($_POST['send'])) check

if(isset($_POST['vehicles'])){
$value = $_POST['vehicles'];
$ddme = $_POST['value'];

How to redirect user to another page using javascript in php?

I want to redirect the user to another page only after displaying a success message. The code below redirects to the another page even if the page is refreshed without submitting any data.
Code Snippet
<?php
// We will store our status message later
$message = '';
// Let's check form submitted
if( isset( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] == 'submit' ) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['number'];
$message_text = $_POST['address'];
if (isset($_POST['action']))
{
// Validate required fields
if( $name == '' || $email == '' || $message_text == '' ){
$message = "<p class=\"error\">Please fill out all required fields.</p>";
}
// send email after validation
else {
// Email will be sent at this email
$mailto = 'nepstarditsolutions#gmail.com';
// Let's create html email format
// (You can use html in this email format)
// Email headers
$headers = "From: " . strip_tags( $email ) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags( $email ) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

I need help in 2 things

How to redirect using JS in php?

Standard "vanilla" JavaScript way to redirect a page
You can use the code below to redirect the user after form submission code.
if( $mail_status ){
echo "
<script>
setTimeout(function() {
window.location = 'http://www.example.com/newlocation';
}, 2000);
</script>
";
}
MDN web docs on how setTimeout works
Hope it helps!

PHP email issue with $Error message

On a Linux server, I have an ajax form that gets posted to a js script, which in turn posts to a php routine for sending a web site email contact form (Styleshout-Puremedia template). I know the post is occurring to js, and to the php page. I get an httpd server error on the php page that "$Error is undefined". However if I define it as NULL or '' it exists and therefore doesn't pass the test "if (!$Error)". If I create a hard-coded php script using the mail function, the e-mail works so php and sendmail are all configured properly. Can someone help as to why this php script doesn't work, or how to fix the "$Error" error?
PHP code:
<?php
// Replace this with your own email address
$siteOwnersEmail = 'info#mydomain.com';
if($_POST) {
$fname = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactFname']));
$lname = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactLname']));
$email = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactEmail']));
$subject = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactSubject']));
$contact_message = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactMessage']));
// Check First Name
if (strlen($fname) < 2) {
$error['fname'] = "Please enter your first name.";
}
// Check Last Name
if (strlen($lname) < 2) {
$error['lname'] = "Please enter your last name.";
}
// Check Email
if (!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9&\'\.\-_\+]+#[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\.)*+[a-z]{2}/is', $email)) {
$error['email'] = "Please enter a valid email address.";
}
// Check Message
if (strlen($contact_message) < 15) {
$error['message'] = "Please enter your message. It should have at least 15 characters.";
}
// Subject
if ($subject == '') { $subject = "Contact Form Submission"; }
// Set Name
$name = $fname . " " . $lname;
// Set Message
$message = "Email from: " . $name . "<br />";
$message .= "Email address: " . $email . "<br />";
$message .= "Message: <br />";
$message .= $contact_message;
$message .= "<br /> ----- <br /> This email was sent from your site's contact form. <br />";
// Set From: header
$from = $name . " <" . $email . ">";
// Email Headers
$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". $email . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
if (!$error) {
ini_set("sendmail_from", $siteOwnersEmail); // for windows server
$mail = mail($siteOwnersEmail, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($mail) { echo "OK"; }
else { echo "Something went wrong. Please try again."; }
} # end if - no validation error
else {
$response = (isset($error['fname'])) ? $error['fname'] . "<br /> \n" : null;
$response .= (isset($error['lname'])) ? $error['lname'] . "<br /> \n" : null;
$response .= (isset($error['email'])) ? $error['email'] . "<br /> \n" : null;
$response .= (isset($error['message'])) ? $error['message'] . "<br />" : null;
echo $response;
} # end if - there was a validation error
}
?>
Thanks for your help!!

You can always just initialize $error as
$error = [];
and then check for errors by
if(count($errors) === 0){
//no errors
}
Or, just use if(!isset($error)){//no errors}

not send when the process failed

I have PHP code that help me to other people can be in touch with me and send their opinion to me .
here's my PHP code :
<?php
$to = 'ticket.ritaweb#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Your decision/Opinion';
$name = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['name']);
$email = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['email']);
$site = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['site']);
$mobile = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['mobile']);
$nazar = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['nazar']);
$sqt = '2164854';
$sqtin = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['sqtin']);
if ($sqt === $sqtin) {
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-
type", "bcc:", "to:", "cc:", "href");
return str_replace($bad, "", $string);
}
$email_message .= "name : " . clean_string($name) . "\n";
$email_message .= "email : " . clean_string($email) . "\n";
$email_message .= "address : " . clean_string($site) . "\n";
$email_message .= "number : " . clean_string($mobile) . "\n";
$email_message .= "opinion : " . clean_string($nazar) . "\n";
$headers = 'From: ' . $mobile . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer:
PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $email_message, $headers);
}
?>
and I called it with javascript ( ajax ) but I want a code in ajax that help me If my condition in PHP file was FALSE or each of the field was empty , show the message : "Your message was not send, be careful".
and here's my AJAX code :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function() {
$('#submit').attr('value', 'sending...');
$.post("themes/RitaWeb-v1/send.php", $(".rita_form").serialize(),
function(response) {
$('#submit').attr('value', 'sent.');
});
return false;
});
});
</script>

Use PHP to print messages on the page, like
{'status' : 'success'}
if the mail was sent and
{'status' : 'error'}
Then do something based on the output with js.
EDIT:
If you use jQuery.ajax instead of jQuery.post,you can also use the settings argument to let something happen if there ared errors during the request.
More information: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
In your code, it would look like this.
PHP:
...
mail($to, $subject, $email_message, $headers);
print('{"status":"success"}');
}
else{
print('{"status":"error"}');
}
And your js:
$.ajax('themes/RitaWeb-v1/send.php').done(function(data){
status = $.parseJSON(data).status;
if(status == 'success'){
// do something
}
else if(ststus == 'error'){
// do something
}
else{
alert('unknown response');
}
});

WordPress form trouble

Some help needed here, I'm building a one page wordpress theme and I don't really know how to make the contact form submit without loading. Basically all my code is on index.php.
This is the form submission php code above the get_header(); It works just fine but I can't really make it submit without loading the page.
if(isset($_POST['user_submit'])) {
$parse_uri = explode( 'wp-content', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] );
require_once( $parse_uri[0] . 'wp-load.php' );
$name = esc_html($_POST['user_name']);
$email = esc_html($_POST['user_email']);
$comment = esc_html($_POST['user_message']);
$website = esc_html($_POST['user_url']);
$msg = esc_attr('Name: ', 'silver') . $name . PHP_EOL;
$msg .= esc_attr('E-mail: ', 'silver') . $email . PHP_EOL;
$msg .= esc_attr('Website: ', 'silver') . $website . PHP_EOL;
$msg .= esc_attr('Message: ', 'silver') . $comment;
$to = get_option( 'admin_email' );
$sitename = get_bloginfo('name');
$subject = '[' . $sitename . ']' . ' New Message';
$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>' . PHP_EOL;
wp_mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
}
This is the jQuery post I'm using for that:
$( "#contact_form" ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var $form = $( this ),
name = $form.find( "input[name='user_name']" ).val(),
email = $form.find( "input[name='user_email']" ).val(),
website = $form.find( "input[name='user_url']" ).val(),
comment = $form.find( "input[name='user_message']").val();
$.post( templateDir + "/index.php", { website : website, comment : comment, name : name, email : email, submit : "yes" } );
});
This is the site http://silviuandrei.eu/themes/bornagain/

You're checking for the user_submit POST variable:
if(isset($_POST['user_submit']))
But sending a different variable via $.post
$.post( templateDir + "/index.php", { website : website, ..... submit : "yes" } );
Change it to user_submit : "yes"

I recommend doing it at functions.php using the init action:
add_action('init','form_submits');
function form_submits() {
if( isset($_REQUEST['user_submit']) ){
require("process_post.php");
exit;//prevents the default blog output
}
}
Note that using require is just a suggestion to keep functions.php clean.
