        <input id="firstname" type="text" class="form-control" id="firstname">
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-6">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label  for="lastname">Lastname</label>
        <input id="lastname" type="text" class="form-control" id="lastname">
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-6">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label  for="email">Email</label>
        <input id="email" type="text" class="form-control" id="email">

    <div class="col-sm-6">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label for="subject">Subject</label>
        <input id="subject" type="text" class="form-control" id="subject">
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-12">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label for="message">Message</label>
        <textarea id="message" class="form-control"></textarea>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="col-sm-12 text-center">
      <a type="submit" class="btn btn-template-main" onclick="sendMail()"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i> Send message</a><span id="sentMessage" style="color:green"></span>

    </div>
  </div>
  <!-- /.row -->
</form>

My script is

function sendMail(){
  var name = document.getElementById ("firstname").value + " " + document.getElementById ("lastname").value;
  var subject = document.getElementById ("subject").value;
  var email = document.getElementById ("email").value;
  var message = document.getElementById ("message").value;
  var body = "<h3>Message from "+ name +"</h3>"+
      "<h4>Email: "+ email +"</h4>"+
      "<p><strong>Body : </strong> "+ message +"</p>";
  var email= '[email protected]&subject=' + subject + '&body=' + body;
  console.log("done");
  $.ajax({
    url: 'http://trimarkworld.com/email.php',
    method: 'POST',
    data: {
      email: email
    },
    success: function(result){
      console.log("done");
      $("#sentMessage").html("Email has been Sent");
    }
  });

}

my php code is

if(isset($_POST['email'])){
    echo json_decode($_POST['email']);
}

This does not print anything..I think there is a problem in the ajax call.please help..

When you send data with $.ajax, it's not sent as JSON, it's sent in application/x-www-form-urlencode format. So there's no need to call json_decode(). Just use:

echo $_POST['email'];

Your PHP is expecting JSON so you might want to pass stringified JSON.

This example will decode the JSON first, then you can use isset.

Use this example to refactor your code: https://www.sitepoint.com/jquery-php-ajax-json/

You should use json_encode in your php if your serializing an associative array. Generally I would send back an object, Although in this case if you are just sending a string you don't need to encode the value.

if(isset($_POST['email'])){
  echo json_encode($_POST['email']);
}
