my script.js and mail.php do not match

Question

I'm at the end of my rope and was hoping someone could help me out. I took over for someone and have been trying to have my form send via ajax POST but the mail.php I've been using does not send even though I get a 200 OK. I did a test on conetix and it sent but I must be missing something. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is the relevant script:

     $("#send").click(function(){

                var valid = '';
                var isr = ' is required!</p>';
                var name = $("#name").val();
                var mail = $("#email").val();
                var messaggio = $("#message").val();

                if (name.length<1) {
                    valid += '<p>*Valid name'+isr;
                }
                if (!mail.match(/^([a-z0-9._-]+@[a-z0-9._-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$)/i)) {
                    valid += '<p>*Valid email address'+isr;
                }

and here is my php:

<?php

/// Here we get all the information from the fields sent over by the form.
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Contact Us Form Submission';
$message = 'FROM: '.$name.' Email: '.$email.'Message: '.$message;
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n";


?>

Again, any help would really keep me from tearing my eyes out.

                if (valid!='') {
                    $("#response").fadeIn("slow");
                    $("#response").html(valid);

                    $('#send').removeClass('normal').addClass('error-button');
                    $('#send').val('');

                    setTimeout(function() {
                        $('#send').removeClass('error-button').addClass('normal');
                        $('#send').val('send');
                        $("#response").fadeOut("slow"); 
                    }, 3000);                         
                }

                else {
                    var datastr ='name=' + name + '&mail=' + mail + '&messaggio=' + encodeURIComponent(messaggio);
                    setTimeout("send('"+datastr+"')",1000, $('#send').val('wait...'));
                }
                return false;
            });

}(jQuery))

        function send(datastr){
            $.ajax({    
                type: "POST",
                url: "phptest.php",
                data: datastr,
                cache: false,

            success: function(html){
                $('#send').removeClass('normal, error-button').addClass('send-email');
                $('#send').val(''); 
            }

            });
        }

check for errors, check your console

Your data string looks like this:

'&mail=' + mail
'&messaggio='

While your PHP is grabbing this:

$_POST['email'];
$_POST['message'];

'mail' != 'email' and 'messaggio' != 'message'

Thank you for the information, but can you clarify what you mean? What shold it be grabbing?

I believe you meant I should change the 'email' to mail and 'message' to 'messaggio'. I tried this but it still does not send. Thanks again for taking a look.

@redsoxburns You need to make them match. Either both as email or both as mail. One is setting the variable to a value, the other reads it.
