Ajax form posting to php script but $_POST is empty in php script
I have a contact us form which posts data via ajax. On form submit ajax posts data to a PHP script however the $_POST is always empty in the PHP script. Headers are sent, request payload has all the post information that I need but still, $_POST is empty in the PHP script.
HTML Form
<form action="contact.php" method="post" novalidate="novalidate"
id="contact-form">
<input name="name" id="name" type="text" value="" >
<input type="text" name="address" id="address" value="" >
<input type="submit" value="Send" id="submit_contact">
</form>
JQUERY
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'contact.php',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json',
cache: false,
data: $('#contact-form').serialize(),
success: function(data) {
if(data.info !== 'error'){
//success
} else {
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
//failure
}
}
});
PHP
if(isset($_POST['name']) and isset($_POST['address']))){
//Process
} else {
//success
}
$_POST always returns null but I want to get the name and address posted values.
contentType: 'application/json',
You claim you are POSTing JSON, which PHP doesn't have a default parser for, so PHP doesn't try to parse it and doesn't populate $_POST
.
Since you aren't POSTing JSON ( $('#contact-form').serialize()
returns URL encoded data, not JSON) simply remove the lie and it will work.
