I am trying to use ajax form submit to submit a form without refreshing the page. However when I click the submit button for the first time, it alerts the error (in alert it shows the whole html page where I have the submit form). And if I close the alert and hit the same submit button again without refreshing the page, it submits the form perfectly.
So, every time I refresh the page I have to hit the submit button and then close the error alert and then submit it again. I am pretty sure its some syntax error in the ajax file.
$('document').ready(function() {
/* validation */
$("#login-form").validate({
rules: {
upass: {
required: true
},
uemail: {
required: true,
email: true
},
},
messages: {
upass: {
required: "please enter your password"
},
uemail: "please enter your email address",
},
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
$(element).closest('.form-group').find('.help-block').html(error.html());
},
highlight: function(element) {
$(element).closest('.form-group').removeClass('has-success').addClass('has-error');
},
submitHandler: submitForm
});
/* validation */
/* login submit */
function submitForm() {
var data = $("#login-form").serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'login.php',
data: data,
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
// console.log(data);
// alert(JSON.stringify(response));
// if(response == 1){
if (data.status == 'success') {
// alert('Good!');
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
window.location.href = "home.php";
} else {
window.location.href = "login_failed.php";
}
},
error: function(data) {
// console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
}
});
return false;
}
});HTML file

And this the php file login.php
<?php
require_once 'class/head.class.php';
if(isset($_POST['login'])) {
$u_email = $_POST['uemail'];
$u_pass = $_POST['upass'];
try {
if(init::loginCheck($u_email) < 3){
if(users::login($u_email, $u_pass)) {
init::loginSuccess($u_email);
// init::redirect('home.php');
$response['status'] = 'success';
// $response['message'] = '<div class="alert alert-danger"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span> registered sucessfully, please confirm your email</div>';
// echo 1;
} else {
init::loginAttempt($u_email);
// init::redirect('home.php');
$response['status'] = 'redirect'; // could not register
// $response['message'] = '<div class="alert alert-warning"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-info-sign"></span> You have entered incorrect login details. Please try again</div>';
// echo 0;
}
}
else {
$response['status'] = 'redirect';
}
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
echo json_encode($response);
}
?>
The error it returns is the html page that contains form:
