Procedure to redirect the page after successful submission or even on fail.
1. Remove following snippet from contact.js
// when the form is submitted
// delete ALL OF THESE
$('#contact-form').on('submit', function (e) {
....
})
2. Then, at the end of your contact.php, replace the following snippet,
// if requested by AJAX request return JSON response
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
...
}
// else just display the message
else {
...
}
with this new snippet
if ($responseArray['message'] == 'success') {
// success redirect
header('Location: http://www.example.com/success.html');
}
else {
//error redirect
header('Location: http://www.example.com/error.html');
}
It will work..! Browser like Chrome may block the redirect request if proper Access-Control-Allow-Origin header not implemented.
Update: For more convenience, I am submitting the full ready to use a snippet of files needs to be changed. However, remember to replace values of recaptcha secret key, email address with own.
1. contact.js
$(function () {
$('#contact-form').validator();
});
2. contact.php
<?php
// require ReCaptcha class
require('recaptcha-master/src/autoload.php');
// configure
$from = 'Demo contact form <demo@domain.com>';
$sendTo = 'Demo contact form <demo@domain.com>';
$subject = 'New message from contact form';
$fields = array('name' => 'Name', 'surname' => 'Surname', 'phone' => 'Phone', 'email' => 'Email', 'message' => 'Message'); // array variable name => Text to appear in the email
$okMessage = 'Contact form successfully submitted. Thank you, I will get back to you soon!';
$errorMessage = 'There was an error while submitting the form. Please try again later';
$recaptchaSecret = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY';
// let's do the sending
try
{
if (!empty($_POST)) {
// validate the ReCaptcha, if something is wrong, we throw an Exception,
// i.e. code stops executing and goes to catch() block
if (!isset($_POST['g-recaptcha-response'])) {
throw new \Exception('ReCaptcha is not set.');
}
// do not forget to enter your secret key in the config above
// from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin
$recaptcha = new \ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha($recaptchaSecret, new \ReCaptcha\RequestMethod\CurlPost());
// we validate the ReCaptcha field together with the user's IP address
$response = $recaptcha->verify($_POST['g-recaptcha-response'], $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
if (!$response->isSuccess()) {
throw new \Exception('ReCaptcha was not validated.');
}
// everything went well, we can compose the message, as usually
$emailText = "You have new message from contact form\n=============================\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
if (isset($fields[$key])) {
$emailText .= "$fields[$key]: $value\n";
}
}
$headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";',
'From: ' . $from,
'Reply-To: ' . $from,
'Return-Path: ' . $from,
);
mail($sendTo, $subject, $emailText, implode("\n", $headers));
$responseArray = array('type' => 'success', 'message' => $okMessage);
}
}
catch (\Exception $e)
{
$responseArray = array('type' => 'danger', 'message' => $errorMessage);
}
if ($responseArray['message'] == 'success') {
// success redirect
header('Location: http://www.example.com/success.html');
}
else {
//error redirect
header('Location: http://www.example.com/error.html');
}
