Send some form info to a PHP page to be processed without going to that page? [closed]
- by zuko
Okay, so I'm not very familiar with php.
I have a very simple form, just 2 text fields.
All I want to do is, after validating with JavaScript, send these two string fields in an email to a pre-defined email address.
I understand how JavaScript works on the client side; you can respond to user events, etc.
And PHP is server-side. What I'm having trouble grasping and figuring out is how do I run PHP functions, etc when I want?
I figured out how to use the 'action' attribute of the form to send the data via POST to another PHP page. But this simply opens that page. I don't want to open the page I just want to do some processing and send a message back to the page the user is still on.
How do I go about something like that?
Thanks.
