The problem: Javascript function( which was premade by template) cleans the form data sent to me by php

The php code:

Answer 1

You haven't provided the data argument for $.post

Try

var form = $('.contact-form');
form.submit(function () {'use strict',
    var $this = $(this);    
    $.post($(this).attr('action'), $this.serialize(), function(data) {
        $this.prev().text(data.message).fadeIn().delay(3000).fadeOut();
    },'json');
    return false;
});
