I have a form that is submitted to a php script with jquery and ajax, but turning out blank in the php script.
form:
<table id="coachapplication">
<form id="coachapplicationform" action="" method="post">
<tr><td>Briefly explain your teaching methods:<br /> <textarea maxlength="100" name="coachmethods" id="coachmethods"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="checkbox" value="yes" name="agree" id="agree" /> I am fully prepared to take on the responsibilities of being a coach which include logging into the website daily and hosting sessions.
<tr><td><button id="submitcoachapplication" type="button">Submit</button></td></tr>
</form>
</table>
jquery script:
$ ('#submitcoachapplication').click(function() {
$ .ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "includes/sendcoachapplication.php",
data: $ ("form#coachapplicationform").serialize(),
success: function(msg){
$ ("#coachapplication").html(msg);
}
});
});
php script:
<?php
session_start();
$ user = $ _SESSION['username'];
include("dbcon.php");
include("user.php");
$ result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM coachapplications ORDER BY username");
while($ row = mysql_fetch_array($ result)) {
$ username = $ row['username'];
if($ username == $ user) die("You already have a pending application.");
}
$ coachmethods = $ _POST['coachmethods'];
$ coachmethods = mysql_real_escape_string($ coachmethods);
$ agree = $ _POST['agree'];
if($ coachmethods == "") die("Please enter some info about how you intend to teach.");
if($ agree != "yes") die(" Please agree to the terms.");
$ sql="INSERT INTO coachapplications (username, methods) VALUES ('$ user', '$ coachmethods')";
if (!mysql_query($ sql,$ con)) die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Your application has been submitted, and is awaiting admin approval. If you are found suitable for the program, you will be taught how to use the system.';
mysql_close($ con);
?>
