将PHP电子邮件添加到具有通过AJAX呼叫终止代码发送的信息的文件中

Question

I created code that updates the user's group level(permission level). I send the selected id and group level via AJAX to a php file called user_update_group. Updating the user's group # worked perfectly before I tried to add the PHP email in the same file. I'm doing this because I am already getting that user's info from my database, so I thought it was the best approach.

However, when adding in the email it breaks the code. Is there something in my php file that is obviously killing this or can I not do it this way? I am trying to SELECT all the data in my users table from the id that was brought over and then send an email out to them using the same button as the other query used. My php email is the second part in the php file I added in here. I added in all of this code to show what I am trying to do.

<?php
$con2 = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db");
$run2 = mysqli_query($con2,"SELECT * FROM user_requests ORDER BY id DESC");
$runUsers2 = mysqli_query($con2,"SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id DESC");
$numrows2 = mysqli_num_rows($run2);

    if( $numrows2 ) {
        while($row2 = mysqli_fetch_assoc($run2)){
            if($row2['status'] == "Approved"){
            //var_dump ($row2);

                $approved_id        = $row2['user_id'];
                $approved_firstname = $row2['firstname'];
                $approved_lastname  = $row2['lastname'];
                $approved_username  = $row2['username'];

    if ($approved_firstname == true) {
        echo "Name - ". $approved_firstname . " " . $approved_lastname . "

</br>" . 
                "Username - ". $approved_username . "</br></br>"
?>

          update_group: $(this).find( "#group_id option:selected" ).val()
        },
            success: function (data) {
                //do something with the data that got returned
                $(".group_success").fadeIn();
                $(".group_success").show();
                $('.group_success').html('User Permission Level Changed!');
                $('.group_success').delay(5000).fadeOut(400);
               // alert(data);
            },
             error: function(jqXHR, textStatus,errorThrown )
            {
              // alert on an http error 
              alert( textStatus +  errorThrown );
            }

        return false;

Answer 1

_POST is auto generated by the browser on submit of the form. If you want to pass data through the post you have to use form submit fields. These fields can be hidden:

<input type=hidden name="lastname" value="{some_last_name}"/>
