PHP/jQuery Contact Form Not Sending

I have a contact form which is validated using jQuery.

The issues with the jQuery were solved in another question.

However, I can not get the form to work even when i take out the validation and have it as a standalone PHP file with just the HTML form and the PHP to send it.

There is no error. The page just goes to a blank page after pressing submit and not to the message in the code.

Here is the code - I have a feeling it is something very simple!:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
}
else {
?>

<meta charset="utf-8" />

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans+Narrow' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="**REMOVED**/style.css">


<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {


function isInt(n) {
return typeof n === 'number' && n % 1 == 0;
}

// Form validation
$(".darkBtn").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var email_check = /^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/i;
var email = $("form.form_contact .email").val();

var zipCheck = /[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9A-Z]? [0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}/i;
var zip = $("form.form_contact .zipcode").val();

var phoneCheck = /^\d+$/;
var phone = jQuery("#contact_form .phone").val();
console.log(phone);

var error = "";

if(!email_check.test(email))
{
error = "Please give a valid email address."

}

if(!zipCheck.test(zip))
{
error = "Please give a valid postcode.";
}

if(!phoneCheck.test(phone) || phone.length != 11)
{
error = "Please give a valid phone number.";
}


// No error ? -> Submit
if(error == "")
{
$(".form_error").hide();
$("form#contact_form").submit();
} else {
$(".form_error").empty().text(error);
$(".form_error").show();
}
});
});

**UPDATE: When i remove the jQuery validation the page sends perfect.

However, if i keep the jQuery validation in then the page does not do Anything when i press submit.**

If your web server access log shows you are receiving the POST request, there is probably an error on mail(). Try adding this else:

if ($mailerror = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) ) {
    echo "Thankyou for using **REMOVED**";
} else {
    echo "Error: cannot send email.";
}

and check if you see the error message instead of a blank page.

(If not, check the browser console to see if the error is in the JavaScript code).

EDIT

I also detected a problem naming the input "submit" (apparently it overrides the form's default submit behaviour, probably when you call e.preventDefault(); ), just rename it and everything will be peachy. Here's is a working solution:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['sent'])){
}
else {
?>

<meta charset="utf-8" />

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans+Narrow' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {


function isInt(n) {
return typeof n === 'number' && n % 1 == 0;
}

// Form validation
$(".darkBtn").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var email_check = /^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/i;
var email = $("form.form_contact .email").val();

var zipCheck = /[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9A-Z]? [0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}/i;
var zip = $("form.form_contact .zipcode").val();

var phoneCheck = /^\d+$/;
var phone = jQuery("#contact_form .phone").val();
console.log(phone);

var error = "";

if(!email_check.test(email))
{
error = "Please give a valid email address."

}

if(!zipCheck.test(zip))
{
error = "Please give a valid postcode.";
}

if(!phoneCheck.test(phone) || phone.length != 11)
{
error = "Please give a valid phone number.";
}


// No error ? -> Submit
if(error == "")
{
$(".form_error").hide();
$('#contact_form').submit();
console.log("sent.");
} else {
$(".form_error").empty().text(error);
$(".form_error").show();
}
});
});

Change your submit button's name from 'submit' to something else and try.

You forgot to set the form action.

<form method="POST" class="form_contact" id="contact_form" action="receiver.php">
