I'm trying to learn how to submit form data to a PHP file from a bootstrap modal. From the other questions I've seen, I thought I had it right, but I keep getting the error dialog. I must be missing something obvious.
test.php
<html>
<body>
<div class="container padding-top-10 change-width">
<div class="row padding-top-20" align="center">
<button class="btn btn-warning btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#bandModal">Add Band(s)</button>
</div>
</div>
<div id="thanks"></div>
<div class="modal fade" id="bandModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-content modal-lg">
<!-- Modal Header -->
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
<span class="sr-only">Close</span>
</button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="bandModalLabel">
Add a Show
</h4>
</div>
<!-- Modal Body -->
<div class="modal-body row">
<div class="container col-md-12">
<form id="addBandForm">

<div class="well" id="newBandRows">

<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="form-group">

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="newBandName" name="newBandName" placeholder="Enter Band Name" />

Jquery
$(function() {

I looked through your code and found quite a few errors.
In your test.php change the Submit button from a button to an actual submit button.
<input id="addBandSubmit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary pull-right">Submit</input>
In your Jquery Add the preventDefault() function to stop the form from submitting to the same page.
$("#addBandForm").submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "womhScripts/addBand.php",
type: "POST",
data: $('#addBandForm').serialize(),
success: function(msg) {
$("#thanks").html(msg);
$("#bandModal").modal('hide');
},
error:function(errMsg) {
console.log(errMsg);
}
});
});
You can read about what the preventDefault function here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/preventDefault
In your addBand.php change the double quotes around your label label-info to single quotes. You cannot have double/single quotes inside double/single quotes inside php.
echo "<span class='label label-info' >your message has been submitted .. Thanks you</span>";
Also it helps to use the console to see exactly what is being posted using the Network tab in Chrome or Firefox .
Please mark this as the answer if it works for you. Hope this helps.
