Question

I have read many answers here and tried almost every but non of them helped me the problem is I want to send contact from data to phpmailer which will send the mail. I want to do it with jquery ajax.

phpmailer code

    <?php

  require_once '../assets/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

    if (isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['phone'], $_POST['message'])) {

   $fields = [

    'name' => $_POST['name'],
    'email' => $_POST['email'],
    'phone' => $_POST['phone'],
    'message' => $_POST['message']


];

foreach ($fields as $field => $data) {

}


$m = new PHPMailer;

$m->isSMTP();
$m->SMTPAuth = true;
$m->SMTPDebug = false;
$m->do_debug = 0;
$m->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$m->Username = 'your-password@gmail.com';
$m->Password = 'your-password';
$m->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$m->Port = 465;

$m->isHTML();

$m->Subject = 'Contact Form submitted';



  $m->Body = 'From:' . $fields['name'] . '(' . $fields['email'] . ')'  . '<p><b>phone:</b><br/>' . $fields['phone'] . '</p>' . '<p><b>Message</b><br/>' . $fields['message'] . '</p>';


   $m->FromName = 'Contact';





    $m->AddAddress('rjsnh1522@gmail.com', 'Pawan');

     if ($m->send()) {


        echo 'Thank You '.$_POST["name"].' We Will Contact You Soon franchise form';
       die();
    } else {
        echo 'try again later';
    }


 }

my jquery ajax code

<script type="text/javascript">



  $(document).ready(function(){

       $('#franchisedata').on('submit',function(){

          var that=$(this),
              url=that.attr('action'),
             type=that.attr('method'),
            data={};

        that.find('[name]').each(function(index,value){

            var that=$(this),
                name=that.attr('name'),
                value=that.val();


            data[name]=value;

        });

        $.ajax({

            url:url,
            type:type,
            data:data,
            success:function(response){

                console.log(response);
                alert(response);
            }


        });

        return false;

    });
});
  </script>

the bootstrap form is the same as previously
