Submit form and show thank you in same popup window
Hi all,
This is a mix of jquery and PHP so let me know if Im in the wrong place.
Basically I have a button saying click here to request a sample. This button when clicked opens a popup window with a form to fill out. This popup is generated by this bit of jquery:
Code:
// Pop up samples request form
$('a.login-window').click(function() {
//Getting the variable's value from a link
var formBox = $(this).attr('href');
//Fade in the Popup
$(formBox).fadeIn(300);
//Set the center alignment padding + border see css style
var popMargTop = ($(formBox).height() + 24) / 2;
var popMargLeft = ($(formBox).width() + 24) / 2;
$(formBox).css({
'margin-top' : -popMargTop,
'margin-left' : -popMargLeft
});
return false;
});
// When clicking on the button close or the mask layer the popup closed
$('a.close').live('click', function() {
$('.login-popup').fadeOut(300 , function() {
});
return false;
});
Now once the form is submitted PHP kicks in to email the form data as plain text. Here is the PHP:-
PHP Code:
$sent = '';
if (($_POST['fname'] != ''))
{
//Send the email
$textEmail = file_get_contents("emails/samples.txt");
$textEmail = str_replace("|FNAME|",$_POST['fname'],$textEmail);
$textEmail = str_replace("|ADDRESS|",$_POST['address'],$textEmail);
$textEmail = str_replace("|POSTCODE|",$_POST['postcode'],$textEmail);
$textEmail = str_replace("|EMAIL|",$_POST['email'],$textEmail);
$textEmail = str_replace("|PRODUCT|",$_POST['product'],$textEmail);
$to = "email@myemail.co.uk";
$subject = "Samples request";
$headers = "From: email@myemail.co.uk"."\r\n"."X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();
ini_set("sendmail_from", "email@myemail.co.uk");
mail($to,$subject,$textEmail,$headers, '-femail@myemail.co.uk');
$sent = 'y';
}
I normally just use the $sent variable to display a message depending on the value. However once the form is submitted the popup window is closed - so the message is not shown.
How can I make the popup window stay open after the form has been submitted and show a thank you message? Or show a thank you message in a new popup window?
Thank you kind humans!
