Thanks for taking the time to look, guys. I'm creating a pretty basic AJAX contact form using jQuery. The email sends, but upon opening the email there is no POST data, so I just get the strings I defined in the PHP script. On my phone's email client, the content of the email literally says 'undefined'. I've tried adding different types of header data to no avail, and a number of variations on the PHP mail() function.

I am more than willing to adopt an easier solution for a simple AJAX form, so thanks in advance for any new approaches.

Here is the form:

   <section id=left>

      <label for=form_name>Name</label>

      <input name=form_name id=form_name type=text >



      <label for=form_email>Email</label>

      <input name=form_email id=form_email type=email >

   </section>



   <section id=right>

      <label for=form_msg>Message</label>

      <textarea name=form_msg id=form_msg></textarea>

      <input id=submit class=button name=submit type=submit value=Send>

   </section>



</form>

The jQuery AJAX:

$(function() {

    $(#contact .button).click(function() {

        var name = $(#form_name).val();

        var email = $(#form_email).val();

        var text = $(#msg_text).val();

        var dataString = 'name='+ name + '&email=' + email + '&text=' + text;



        $.ajax({

            type: POST,

            url: email.php,

            data: dataString,

            success: function(){

            $('.success').fadeIn(1000);

            }

        });



        return false;

    });

});

The PHP script (external file 'email.php'):

<?php

if($_POST){

    $name = $_POST['form_name'];

    $email = $_POST['form_email'];

    $message = $_POST['form_msg'];



//send email

    mail([email protected], This is an email from: .$email, $message);

}

?>
