This is a html code for a simple contact form using bootstrap styling and the action linked in form tag to form_check.php I have been hitting my head hard as clicking the submit button doesnt perform any action and gives no output for even the simplest php script.
Heres the html part:
and heres the php script part in its simplest form still it is not working
Please help me out as even clicking the submit button performs no action at all.
Try this instead of using a button:
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary">
The reason your form is not submitting is because <button type="button"> is clickable yes, but without an event handler, nothing will happen.
However, you can simply change <button type="button" to <button type="submit". Either one of these will work.
You are going to have to change the button to an input and give it the attribute type="submit"
Buttons don't submit forms.
submit as value for type instead of button. Check basics: w3schools.com/tags/att_button_type.aspIf you want to use <button> instead of <input type="button"> just change this line:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" value="Submit" >submit</button>
to this:
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" value="Submit" >submit</button>
OR if you want js solution try this:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="$('#myForm').submit();" >submit</button>
Where myForm is id of your form
input type=submitintsead ofbutton<button></button>if you want. No need to replace with<input>just replace the type value frombuttontosubmit. You can havesubmitvalue for button'stypeattribute too.
