Contact form sends mail with empty message field

Question

When i send an email with my contact form the textarea value does not send and the \"message:\" field is always empty in the email.

Declaring the input variables manuall

Answer 1

I found the issue on your code:

the Values from textarea never made it the Server side, because you are doing this in your PHP:

$message = $_POST['text'];

You should do this in order to get the value from textarea:

$message = $_POST['message'];

This will solve your issue :). Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Your variable naming is inconsistent.

In your HTML-form you're using message for the name-attribute. But in you're AJAX-call and in the PHP $_POST-GLOBAL you are looking for a variable called text.
