I am currently using php in my html page and there is an action in the same page which gets executed upon form submission. Currently whole form gets reloaded while I want the php action to be run in the background with out reloading. How do I do it. I would also want to clear the text box after submit button is clicked. Following is the code I am currently using
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="post" role="form">
<input type="email" placeholder="Enter email" name="email_address">
<button class="btn btn-primary custom-button red-btn">Sign Up</button>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email_address']) !(trim($_POST['email_address']) == ''))
// do some action
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Note: Following code worked for me
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#contactForm').submit(function () {
$.post("mailer.php",$("#contactForm").serialize(), function(data){
});
return false;
});
</script>
