    <p>Trying to set up a contact form. Form submits email and optionally CCs sender. If javascript is enabled, the form submits to contact-ajax.php (to replace the form with a thanks message), otherwise it submits to contact.php (to redirect to a thanks page). The fallback form works fine, but every time the ajax form fires it also sends a completely blank email (to both sender and recipient, if CC option is checked). I can't figure out why this is occurring. Any insight would be appreciated.</p> <p>Form HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" id="email_form" name="email_form" action="contact.php"&gt; &lt;label for="name"&gt;Name:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="John Doe" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;label for="email"&gt;Email Address:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="johndoe@gmail.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;label for="subject"&gt;Subject &lt;/label&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" placeholder="Subject" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;label for="message"&gt;Message:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea cols="35" rows="5" name="message" id="message" placeholder="Your Message"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" name="cc" id="cc" checked value="Yes" /&gt;&lt;label for="cc"&gt; Send yourself a copy of this message&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input class="submit pulldown button" name="submit" id="submit" type="submit" value="Send Message" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>Javascript:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { $('#email_form #submit').click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); $.ajaxSetup ({ cache: false }); $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: 'contact-ajax.php', data: $("#email_form").serializeArray(), success: function(msg) { if(msg=='Mail sent') { alert(msg); } else { alert('Error sending mail. Please try again.'); } }, error: function(ob,errStr) { alert('Error sending mail. Please try again.'); } }); return false; }); }); </code></pre> <p>PHP form called by script (contact-ajax.php):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { $name = $_POST['name']; $visitor_email = $_POST['email']; $email_subject = $_POST['subject']; $message = $_POST['message']; $today = date('r'); $email_from = "address@domain.tld"; $to = "address@domain.tld"; $email_body = "On $today $name wrote:\n"."$message"; $headers = "From: $email_from \r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n"; if (isset($_POST['cc'])) { $headers .= "CC: $visitor_email \r\n"; } $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/". phpversion(); mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers); if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) { die('Mail sent'); } else { die('Error: Mail failed'); } } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The non-Ajax php script (contact.php) is identical, except that it ends with <code>header('Location: thanks_page.html');</code> instead of the last <code>if</code> statement.</p> <p>Blank emails contain no subject or message body, but From, Reply-To, and CC fields are all filled in exactly as they are in the correct (non-empty) message. I've been trying to figure out the problem for a few days now but can't seem to track it down.</p>

    1. COhave you checked if your post data contains anything once the javascript submits? if not then change your $("#email_form").serializeArray() to data: $("#email_form").serialize()

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
