        </fieldset>
    </div>
    <div id="col2">
        <fieldset class="col-2">
            <label class="white text-label note-label" for="notes">Notes:</label><br/>
            <textarea name="notes" id="notes" rows="10" cols="30" class="requiredField" tabindex="4"></textarea>
            <input type="hidden" name="submitted" id="submitted" class="submitted" value="true" /><button id="submit" type="submit">Submit Application</button>
        </fieldset>
    </div>
</form>

So i changed the form to a php on action – the email sends now fine – but it takes the user to the blank sendContact.php.

Is there a way of redirecting them back to the site? or doing this via ajax?

i tried a few ways in ajax and it wasnt sending the email

Thanks!

PHP: 

require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';


$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();

$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

$name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['fname']));
$email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['phone']));
$notes  = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['notes']));
$checkbox = $_POST['checker'];


$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
  ->setFrom(array('From_Email' => 'My Website'))
  ->setSubject('[My_Subject from '.$name.']')
  ->setTo(array('My_Email'))
  ->setBody(
'<html>'.
'<head></head>'.
'<body>'.
'<strong>Name:</strong><br />'.
$title.' '.$name.'<br /><br />'.
'<strong>Email Address:</strong><br />'.
$email.'<br /><br />'.
'<strong>Phone Number:</strong><br />'.
$phone.'<br /><br />'.
'<strong>Interested in:</strong><br />'.
implode('<br />', $checkbox).'<br /><br />'.
'<strong>Message:</strong><br />'.
$notes.'<br /><br />'.
'</body>'.
'</html>',
'text/html' );
$result = $mailer->send($message);

  1. Best way to implement Ajax in WordPress is to use admin-ajax.php

    In your functions.php of your template add following code

    function MyAjaxCallBack()
{
    foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
        $$key = $value;
    //Email script will go here!
    die();
}

// creating Ajax call for WordPress  
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_MyAjaxCallBack', 'MyAjaxCallBack');
add_action('wp_ajax_MyAjaxCallBack', 'MyAjaxCallBack');

    Ajax script (Add it to header.php or footer.php):

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {  
    jQuery("#PleasePushMe").click(function(){ 
        jQuery.ajax({  
            type: 'POST',  
            url: '<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php');?>',  
            data: {  
                action: 'MyAjaxCallBack',
                MyParam: 'MyParamValue'
            },  
            success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest){  
                alert(data);  
            },  
            error: function(MLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){  
                alert(errorThrown);  
            }  
        });  
    });  
});

  3. You need to add a submit handler:

    $(function(){

    $(".applywrap > form").on("submit", function(){
        // here you should probably validate your form fields...

        $.ajax({
            type : this.method,
            url  : this.action, // HTML <form> "action" attribute
            data : $(this).serialize(),
            cache: false
        })
        .done(console.log)
        .fail(console.warn)

        return false; // so the form won't refresh the page
    });

});
