Problem getting a css php mail form working form hiddne div

[johnbasil]

HI.

I have a website written using php and css. On the left hand side is my menu, and all the content loads in to a div called "content" using ajax. (no reload).

However i have a feedback form that loads into a div on another layer. That seems to work fine. The probelem is when i try to send it using php. It reloads the index page, and doesn;t send the email. if i load the contact form directly, then it works fine. i really dont know what i'm doing wrong. I have spent the last 4 days working on this, can i have completely run out of ideas.

<?
if(isset($_POST['send'])) //check if send was clicked
{
//form processor
$to = $_POST['to'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message']; //YOU NEED TO DECLARE FORM VAIRBALES for SECURITY!!

	
$sendmail = mail($to, $subject, $phone, $message, $name); //mail function - mail(to, subject, message);
if($sendmail == true) // checks if mail function worked
{
echo"it worked!";
}
else
{
echo "Error sending message";
}
}
else // if form was not processed
{
?> 

<form id="form2" method="post" action="" target="_self">
<h3><span>Contact Us</span></h3>

		
			<fieldset><legend>Contact form</legend>
				
				<p class="first">
					<label for="name">Name</label>
					<input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="30" />
				</p>
				<p>
					<label for="email">Email</label>

					<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" />
				</p>
				<p>
					<label for="web">Phone No.</label>
					<input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" size="30" />
				</p>																					
				<p>
					<label for="message">Message</label>

					<textarea name="message" id="message" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea>
				</p>					
				<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="mentoring">
				<input type="hidden" name="to" value="ryan.afox@yahoo.com">
				<p class="submit"><button type="submit" name="send" value="send">Send</button></p>		
							
			</fieldset>		
</form>			
<? } ?>

Thanks in advance.

I would assume you'd need to have an action populated:

action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"

Otherwise the form doesn't have any way to parse the data.
