Nothing happens when clicking submit - php

I'm using WordPress with Custom Content Types plugin. I have the code in a PHP file which creates a contact form.
The website is http://schools.raci.org.au/competition/ancq/
It was working fine before I migrated it to a new host. I didn't write the original code, so I don't really know how it works.
Here are the relevant files:
Here is the code for the main page: pastebin.com/piaTSVgc
and the code for the form: pastebin.com/xeqsmc5g
here is admin-ajax.php: pastebin.com/eFx2JFJu
here is the function where register_interest_form lives: pastebin.com/knrChkSP
here is functions.php: pastebin.com/hru5LkQR
Thanks in advance!

Its working from.
When we submit form. there is ajax request is been processing and getting 0 in response.
The default response from admin-ajax.php is,
die( '0' );
...by adding your own exit() or die() after returning your desired content prevents the default response from admin-ajax.php being returned as well.
The solution is to add die() to the end of your own ajax function, so you die the script before die('0')
It also generally means that your ajax call has succeeded.
Ultimately, to answer your question, it's meant to work this way. What you are doing by exiting after returning your content is the right thing to do.

$_POST method and isset method and !empty method not working

Before anyone tells me to look at other similar posts, I already have and I cannot find any solution to my problem.
I am building a questionnaire for a project, and I am using php 5.6, xampp, phpmyadmin, Phpstorm 2017.1.2 and of course the usual languages html css javacript.
In order to write less code, I used the masterpage method to build my website for the questionnaire.
I therefore have a do-test.php where I put my questionnaire alone and an index.php where I have the main skeleton of the page.
I have my questionnaire form with various fieldsets and their inputs. Lastly I have a input type=submit button that I click and the form is supposed to be submitted. However my $_POST method is not working at all.
The following code does all the work. Unfortunately for reasons yet unknown to me, when the if statement runs, it doesn't even look at the isset or !empty method.
Using an IDE debugger
Debugging the do-test.php without the master-page.: My xdebug (installed in phpstorm), jumps directly from the breakpoint in if statement to the bottom of the page. I tried using an else with a message that "submit is not set" and it shows it before and after submitting the form.
if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !empty($_POST['Submit'])) {
$results = new Results();
$results->ProcessRequest();
if ($results->isSuccessful()) {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
alert('Your data is sent to the server');
</script>";
} else {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
alert('Something went wrong.');
</script>";
}
}
My http raw post data is visible but the post array is empty.
Debuggin the do-test.php with the master-page: Gets me 502 bad gateway error
Debug using localhost
Using this code snippet here I tried to see what is going on.
Submitting the form from the master-page or the simple do-test page, gives me the following result:
which means that my post array has all the right variables. All that remains is for the method to be executed and for the data to pass into the db.
My post_max_size and variables_order (advise taken from here) are correct.
magic_quotes_gpc (from this post) are off in php.ini.
Could it be the http modules that interfere with POST as told by GeorgeMillo
here??? If so how do I tamper with those?
Could there be something wrong with my version of phpstorm or the php version?
Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you in advance.
I may have written one thing wrong so I gave the wrong impression. I wrote "when the if statement runs", when in fact, the debugger runs and tries to execute the if statement but it doesnt. Sorry for my bad explanation.
The member "Alive or Die" gave me the simple solution of using
if(count($_POST)>0)
and it works!! So I will stick with that.
Thanks to everyone for your fast comments and for pointing out the obvious when one cannot see it!!

Proceed code after executing function PHP

I have data on my site a user can edit via a form. So If the page is opened the user will see the form filled whith his personal data. and when updated and he pushes the submit button I`ll call a function.
<?php
if (!empty($_POST)) {
company_change($_SESSION['user_name']);
} ?>
<HTML>
(...) <-- form is here
</HTML>
after this function is processed I'll receive the return from the function, but the script is not proceed any further. (the regular HTML part)
So my question is. If I direct to a function from a IF statement, and let update some records. How can i make sure the script is executed further after completion of the function logic.
Do i miss a trigger in te IF statement or at the END of the function i call?
Hope someone can help?
According to official documentation (http://php.net/manual/en/functions.user-defined.php and http://php.net/manual/en/functions.returning-values.php), functions come back after they are called, even if you call them from an IF statement.
If your execution flow is not coming back from the function, there may be some reasons :
Something is happening in the function itself, for example, an unhandled exception been thrown.
The function internally jumps to another script or function where it is not returning from
Paste more of your code to take a better look.
You don`t believe this but I had a "}" to much.
So the answer on this questions is: Use an IDE with auto-syntax correction/checking.

500 Internal server error with new php files on server (Wordpress/Woocommerce)

I am getting a strange 500 Internal Server Error with a new script I am trying to implement in the actual site. Here's a screen:
![500 Internal][1]
I can route to this files manually without problems and they are working too. But not in the script itself. The Paths are also correct.
Heres the link to the Site:
[>>> Link <<<][2] (just enter R10369 in the input field or a random number)
Everything else is working correctly except these 3 files:
reseller.php,
checkresellerid.php,
resellermail.php
I googled a bit and everywhere is the .htaccess mentioned. but I never modified it or overwrited it. What could be the Problem? Thanks for any Help and sorry for my bad Englisch.
(Let me know if you want to see the php files)
EDIT: I managed to include my new php files into wordpress but i still got the 500 Error
I checked out the website.
I think Wordpress doesn't let you call .php inside of it's system.
I mean you cannot call PHP files for ajax.
You need to use wordpress ajax. Here is a snippet how to use ajax:
Function.php in your theme file.
function myajax()
{
//do stuff
die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_product_s', 'myajax' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_product_s', 'myajax' );
And in your javascript file using jQuery:
The url may change, maybe it's enough to have wp-admin/admin.ajax.php or something like this, i don't really remember right now.
$.post('/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',{action:'myajax',yourdata:"mydata"}).done(function(data)
{
//do stuffs
});
Update:
So basically if you want to have ajax request inside wordpresss, you need to define these things and use it like this. the "action" parameter is the function name which you want to call. And you need to put the PHP code into your current theme's function.php.

No element found FF - Error visible in firebug

I'm creating a global high score table. The JavaScript sends the username and score to the PHP through some AJAX functions and POST. The PHP script then takes the variable, and compares the score values to the file on the server. It then puts the new score where it should go on the score table, and rewrites the file.
I had it working last night, but now, when I call the function, it displays my code instead, and firebug gives the error, "No element found". I'm not sure what I did between then and now, but I just can't figure this one out.
This is my first time using PHP and AJAX, so I'm not sure where or what the error is.
Any help would be appreciated!
The exact error:
Timestamp: 4/13/2013 1:59:18 PM
Error: no element found
Source File: file:///C:/wamp/www/ajax.php
Line: 84, Column: 3
Source Code:
?>
If I cannot help you solve this issue, I will delete this answer, but I wanted to post it like this so you can better read my suggestions.
Start by changing your HandleResponse function to this:
function HandleResponse(response)
{
console.log(response);
document.getElementById('ResponseDiv').innerHTML = response;
}
and post the result that appears above the error, in firebug.
What we are doing here is adding a way for us to see if any data was actually returned from the AJAX request. A call to console.log tells the browser to print the given argument to the console (in your case, firebug).
UPDATE 1
In your comments, you stated that nothing displayed when you logged the value of response. This means that you received nothing back from the server (in terms of data, at least).
My next suggestion is that you change the call to MakeRequest to the following:
<input type='button' id="test" onclick='MakeRequest("*");' value='Global Highscore Table'/>
Like before, leave the console.log line in the HandleResponse method, and post the result that appears above the error in firebug.
Here, we are setting your MakeRequest to make a request that passes a wild-card query parameter. At the time of this suggestion, I did not realize that the requested file expected two arguments, nor that passing a wild-card would error the script. However, this was still a good thing to do, as we found a new error, which tells us that the request is being received.
UPDATE 2
Now, cut and paste everything from your "ajax.php" file to your notepad or another, similar application. Then, set the following to be the only content of the "ajax.php" file:
<?php echo "Request received and response sent"; ?>
Again, post the result of the console.log.
Here, we are taking a step back from fixing the complex code, and we are going back to the basics. All we want to do, here, is verify that we can both send the request and receive a response.
If "Request received and response sent" is successfully returned as the response of the request, then we know that the error lies in ajax.php, and not in the request. If it is not, we know that there is a problem with the request (be it a server issue or the request, itself). If the latter is the case, there could still be a problem with ajax.php, but we must first fix the request.
UPDATE 3 (final solution)
Issue was found to be due to not correctly running on the local server.

Strange behaviour when trying to send data with ajax (jQuery)

I'm coding an website which must have same functionality as SO. My server use Litespeed, which increase the speed of runing php files.
When I'm trying to send php code in regular form, everything seems to be ok, data being sent to the action file without interpreting the code inside the variable. But when I'm trying to send the same data in comments textareas, with jQuery $.post method, I'm getting Forbidden 403 error. Data is blocked on the road by Litespeed server. I don't know why is happening this, why is $_POST data auto-evaluated when using ajax?
This situation doesn't appear everytime, but just in some cases, for example:
this is a new message which presents this php code: <?php mysql_query("SELECT * FROM my_table"); ?>
Note that if I remove <?php and ?> from my message, it is ok. I've already tried to use encodeURI() method but this don't change anything.
Is there any setting which must be applied in .htaccess for not auto-evaluate $_POST data?
or I should replace the open and close tags, before sending the comment?
Later edit
This is how I managed to resolve this right now, but I'm still waiting for a suggestion with .htaccess:
$but.prev('textarea').val().replace(/(<\?php)/gi,'-?php ').replace(/(<\?)/gi,'-? ').replace(/\?>/gi,' ?-');
and on the server side
str_replace(array('-?php','?-','-?'), array('`<?php','?>`','`<?'), $_POST['comment']);
