I have a Javascript file that submits a form and loads an alert etc. Now I want to add functionality to call or get a .php file, I tried using $.get("mail.php"); but it doesn't seem to work.

Javascript Code:

$('#myform').on('submit', function(e){
 e.preventDefault();
 $.get($(this).attr('action') + $(this).serialize());
 alert("Thank You! \nTop Up for: <?php echo "$username" ?> Purchased Successfully");
 $.get("mail.php"); //this is the added part to get mail.php//
 location.reload();

PHP - mail.php:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$headers = "From: website mail \r\n";
$email_body = "has just toped up his account.\n".
$email_subject = "User Topup Alert";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
?>

  • What do you expect $.get("mail.php") to do? Do you want it to display something on the screen, or just send an email? (or something else?) Commented Mar 29, 2013 at 7:48

I think you can try load():

$("#mailDiv").load('mail.php');

According to me $.get and $.post are to send the data. You cannot include files using this.

you can use

$('selector').load() 

OR

$.ajax();

$.ajax(); is most preferable.
