Here is my Modal Form I have designed and wrote a PHP but as I have less command over PHP… my ultimate target is submit the form on-page without refreshing the page & to get all these details via email using PHP. This is what I have written till now in PHP.

<?php

// Define some constants
define( "RECIPIENT_NAME", "John Smith" );
define( "RECIPIENT_EMAIL", "[email protected]" );
define( "EMAIL_SUBJECT", "Visitor Message" );

// Read the form values
$success = false;
$senderName = isset( $_POST['senderName'] ) ? preg_replace( "/[^.-' a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $_POST['senderName'] ) : "";
$senderEmail = isset( $_POST['senderEmail'] ) ? preg_replace( "/[^.-_@a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $_POST['senderEmail'] ) : "";
$senderPhone = isset( $_POST['senderPhone'] ) ? preg_replace( "/[^.-_@a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $_POST['senderPhone'] ) : "";
$senderCountry = isset( $_POST['senderCountry'] ) ? preg_replace( "/[^.-_@a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $_POST['senderCountry'] ) : "";
$senderBudget = isset( $_POST['senderBudget'] ) ? preg_replace( "/[^.-_@a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $_POST['senderBudget'] ) : "";
$senderSelect = isset( $_POST['senderSelect'] ) ? preg_replace( "/[^.-_@a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $_POST['senderSelect'] ) : "";
$message = isset( $_POST['message'] ) ? preg_replace( "/(From:|To:|BCC:|CC:|Subject:|Content-Type:)/", "", $_POST['message'] ) : "";

// If all values exist, send the email
if ( $senderName && $senderEmail && $senderPhone && $senderCountry && $senderBudget && $senderSelect && $message ) {

    $msgToSend = "Name: $senderNamen";
    $msgToSend .= "Email: $senderEmailn";
    $msgToSend .= "Phone: $senderPhonen";
    $msgToSend .= "Sender Country: $senderCountryn";
    $msgToSend .= "Sender Budget: $senderBudgetn";
    $msgToSend .= "Sender Select: $senderSelectn";
    $msgToSend .= "Message: $message";

    $recipient = RECIPIENT_NAME . " <" . RECIPIENT_EMAIL . ">";
    $headers = "From: " . $senderName . " <" . $senderEmail . ">";
    $success = mail( $recipient, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $msgToSend, $headers );
}

// Return an appropriate response to the browser
if ( isset($_GET["ajax"]) ) {
  echo $success ? "success" : "error";
} else {
?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Thanks!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <?php if ( $success ) echo "<p>Thanks for sending your message! We'll get back to you shortly.</p>" ?>
  <?php if ( !$success ) echo "<p>There was a problem sending your message. Please try again.</p>" ?>
  <p>Click your browser's Back button to return to the page.</p>
  </body>
</html>
<?php
}
?>

Answers

to submit a form without reloading you would have to use ajax
so try adding this, giving your form id = formid

<script>
$('#fromid').submit(function() { // catch the form's submit event
    $.ajax({ // create an AJAX call...
    data: $(this).serialize(), // get the form data
    type: $(this).attr('method'), // GET or POST
    url: $(this).attr('action'), // the file to call
    success: function(response) { // on success..
        if (response=="ok") {
            window.location.href = "dashboard.php";
        }else{
            $('#created').html(response); // update the DIV
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('#created').fadeOut("slow");
            }, 20000 );
        }
    }
});
return false; // cancel original event to prevent form submitting
});
</script>

First try doing this, I had the same problem and it worked out.

Your AJAX data:
```
$.ajax({
        url: url,
        dataType: "json",
        data: {
              "disc_name": disc_name_val,
               "disc_email": disc_email_val,
               "disc_country": disc_country_val

         },
...
```
In your PHP:
```
$disc_name = $_POST['disc_name']; 
...
```
After doing this you need to do more verify that the data is being sent correctly.

You can verify that the data is being sent correctly by checking the console of your browser.

More errors:

In your php to handle strings, you should do this:
```
$msgToSend = "Name:".$senderName."n";
 $msgToSend .= "Email:".$senderEmail."n";
 $msgToSend .= "Phone:".$senderPhone."n";
...
```
One more error:

You are sending POST and using GET to receive. You have to use POST or GET.
```
if ( isset($_GET["ajax"]) )  
```
