Hi, friends today I am teaching you how to send contact form with captcha using Ajax, jQuery and PHP. Contact form is very common application for every website. Here I build a quick contact form using ajax with all fields validation. I make it more secure using captcha. So there is no change for spamming. Lets build our application:
Step 1: In this step I create contact form for user from where they will send contact to us

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 |
<?php $num1 = rand(1,10); $num2 = rand(1,10); $sum = $num1 + $num2; ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"><!-- This is a demonstration of HTML5 goodness with healthy does of CSS3 mixed in --><head> <title>Ajax contact form using captch in PHP</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <!--[if IE]> <script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script> <![endif]--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/send_data.js"></script> </head> <body> <div class="cover"> <div id="result"></div> <div id="contactform"> <p class="contact"><label for="name">Name</label></p> <input id="name" name="name" placeholder="Yourname" type="text"> <p class="contact"><label for="email">Email</label></p> <input id="email" name="email" placeholder="admin@admin.com" type="text"> <p class="contact"><label for="Subject">Subject</label></p> <input id="subject" name="subject" placeholder="Subject" type="text"> <p class="contact"><label for="comment">Your Message</label></p> <textarea name="comment" id="comment" tabindex="4"></textarea> <br> <p class="contact"><label for="captch"><?php echo $num1 ?> <span style="font-size:25px;">+</span> <?php echo $num2; ?></label> : <input id="captch" name="captch" type="text" style="width:360px;"> </p> <input name="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Send Mail" type="submit" style="width:200px;"> <input type="hidden" name="captch_value" id="captch_value" value="<?php echo $sum ;?>" /> </div> </div> </body> </html> |
Step 2: In this setp I create a style.css for styling our form

Step 3: Now I create a send_mail.js for taking value after clicking “Send Mail” button. This js file take the value from the form , validate all fields and send all data to another php file using ajax post request

$(document).ready(function(){ $("#submit").click(function() { //get input field values var name = $('#name').val(); var email = $('#email').val(); var subject = $('#subject').val(); var message = $('#comment').val(); var captch = $('#captch').val(); var captch_value = $('#captch_value').val(); var flag = true; /********validate all our form fields***********/ if(name==""){ $('#name').css('border-color','red'); flag = false; } if(email==""){ $('#email').css('border-color','red'); flag = false; } if(subject==""){ $('#subject').css('border-color','red'); flag = false; } if(message=="") { $('#comment').css('border-color','red'); flag = false; } if(captch=="") { $('#captch').css('border-color','red'); flag = false; } /********Validation end here ****/ /********Validate captch********/ if(captch != captch_value){ $('#captch').css('border-color','red'); flag = false; } /*************************/ /* If all are ok then we send ajax request to email_send.php *******/ if(flag) { $.ajax({ type: 'post', url: "email_send.php", dataType: 'json', data: 'username='+name+'&useremail='+email+'&subject='+subject+'&message='+message, beforeSend: function() { $('#submit').attr('disabled', true); $('#submit').after('<span class="wait"> <img src="image/loading.gif" alt="" /></span>'); }, complete: function() { $('#submit').attr('disabled', false); $('.wait').remove(); }, success: function(data) { if(data.type == 'error') { output = '<div class="error">'+data.text+'</div>'; }else{ output = '<div class="success">'+data.text+'</div>'; $('#contactform input').val(''); $('#contactform textarea').val(''); } $("#result").hide().html(output).slideDown(); } }); } }); //reset previously set border colors and hide all message on .keyup() $("#contactform input, #contactform textarea").keyup(function() { $("#contactform input, #contactform textarea").css('border-color',''); $("#result").slideUp(); }); }); |
Step 4: Last step for our application. Here I create a email_send.php which takes all ajax post data, validate all data using php, if any error occurs, send it to the ajax file with error message. If all are ok then I send a success message to ajax file. I display the message using result id.
