AJAX Form with CAPTCHA, Realtime Validation and PHP Backend

Last updated on February 7th, 2016 by Gabriel Livan

The aim of this basic tutorial is to help you to create a simple (table-less) AJAX Contact Form using jQuery & PHP. It will give you an idea of how you can create similar web applications using jQuery and AJAX. We will have a HTML page which will contain the form, a CSS file, a .PHP page where the data will be sent and another file where the validation function(s) will be located.

Step 1 – Creating the configuration file

config.php

<?php
// To
define("WEBMASTER_EMAIL", "your_name@your-domain.com");
?>

Here you should fill the e-mail address where you wish to receive the mail as well as the address where you wish to receive the replies (usually the same).

Step 2 – Creating the css file

style.css

html, body  { padding: 0; border: 0px none; }

.notification_error {
	border: 1px solid #A25965;
	height: auto;
	width: 90%;
	padding: 4px;
	background: #F8F0F1;
	text-align: left;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
}

.notification_ok {
	border: 1px #567397 solid;
	height: auto;
	width: 90%
	padding: 8px;
	background: #f5f9fd;
	text-align: center;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
}

.info_fieldset { -moz-border-radius: 7px; border: 1px #dddddd solid; }

.info_fieldset legend {
	border: 1px #dddddd solid;
	color: black; 

	font: 13px Verdana;

	padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
	-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}

.button {
	border: 1px solid #999999;
	border-top-color: #CCCCCC;
	border-left-color: #CCCCCC; 

	background: white;

	color: #333333; 

	font: 11px Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

	-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}

/* Label */
label {width: 140px; padding-left: 20px; margin: 5px; float: left; text-align: left;}

/* Input, Textarea */
input, textarea {
	margin: 5px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;

	border: 1px solid #999999;
	border-top-color: #CCCCCC;
	border-left-color: #CCCCCC; 

	color: #333333; 

	font: 11px Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Creating a CSS TableLess Form (using Labels or DIVs)

Last updated on February 28th, 2015 by Gabriel Livan

Greetings,

This article is about creating a form without using any tables, which can be easily customized and used in your own site. Let’s start creating the necessary files: tableless_form.html & style.css. You can choose between two structures: one using DIVs & another one using labels.

Step 1: Creating the CSS file

We will create and place the CSS file in the same folder where the tableless_form.html file is located. Here’s the file’s content:

First Method (with DIVs)

html, body
{
padding: 0;
border: 0px none;
}

/* Let's add some style to our fieldset & legend */

fieldset
{
-moz-border-radius: 7px;
border: 1px #dddddd solid;
padding: 10px;
width: 550px;
margin-top: 10px;
}

fieldset legend
{
border: 1px #1a6f93 solid;
color: black; 

font-family: Verdana;
font-weight: none;
font-size: 13px;

padding-right: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;

-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}

/* Main DIV */
.m
{
width: 560px;
padding: 20px;
height: auto;
}

/* Left DIV */
.l
{
width: 140px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px; 

float: left;
text-align: right;
}

/* Right DIV */
.r
{
width: 300px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px; 

float: right; 

text-align: left;
}

.a
{
clear: both;
width: 470px;
padding: 10px;
}

Second method (With Labels)

HTML, BODY
{
padding: 0;
border: 0px none;
}

/* Let's add some style to our fieldset & legend */

fieldset
{
-moz-border-radius: 7px;
border: 1px #dddddd solid;
padding: 10px;
width: 550px;
margin-top: 10px;
}

fieldset legend
{
border: 1px #1a6f93 solid;
color: black; 

font-family: Verdana;
font-weight: none;
font-size: 13px;

padding-right: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;

-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}

/* Label */
label
{
width: 140px;
padding-left: 20px;
margin: 5px;
float: left;
text-align: left;
}

/* Input, Textarea */
input, textarea
{
margin: 5px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
}

/* BR */

br
{
clear: left;
}
