I have the following partial. I want it to send the form data to an email address. What happens is the URL is appended with '/?', no mail is sent.

I am finding it very difficult to find help on sending email. I am gradually piecing things together. But, I cannot find a single resource for instructions.

description = "Contact Page"
==
use Illuminate\Support\FacadesMail;
use System\Models\MailTemplate;

function onInfoRequest() {
$data = ['name'=>'test from function'];
echo 'TEST';
Mail::send(backend::mail.inforequest, $data, function($message) {
$message->to('fakeEmail@fakeURL.com', 'Roger Creasy');
});
}

        </form>
    </div>

btw - my test echo statement doesn't run either.

Can anyone help?

I am still hacking away. Is there no one who can help?? I changed the PHP bit in the code section to this:

  function onInfoRequest()
    {
        $data = ['name' => 'test from function'];
        Mail::send(backend::mail . inforequest, $data, function ($message) {
            $message->to('fake@hidden.com', 'Roger Creasy');
        });
    }

I now get an alert box with "AJAX handler 'onInfoRequest' not found. Anyone??

I also tried making the onInfoRequest function public. Same result....

PROGRESS! I am posting this in case it helps someone else.

I found that the AJAX function had to be placed in the code section of the LAYOUT instead of the page or partial. Here is the code:

   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
   public function onInfoRequest() {
   $data = ['name' => 'test from function'];
   Mail::send('mail.inforequest', $data, function ($message) {
   $message->to('fake@hidden.com', 'Roger Creasy');

   });
}

The current problem is that I get an alert box with an empty unnamed array (I am assuming). The alert is '[]' Any ideas of what is causing this?
