PHP 8, AJAX mail form to function.php doesn’t work

by

The question:

I have code that send message to email, it works at PHP 7.2, but after we changed version to PHP 8 it didn’t works. Maybe someone have ideas whats wrong?

Function.php

function true_add_ajaxform(){

$multiple_to_recipients = array(
    '[email protected]',
);

add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type' );

$message = 'text: '.$_POST['page']."n";

$message .= 'text: '.$_POST['name']."n";

$message .= 'text: '.$_POST['phone']."n";

wp_mail( $multiple_to_recipients, $_POST['nameForm'], $message);

remove_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type' );

function set_html_content_type() {
    return 'text/html';
}

}
 
add_action('wp_ajax_ajaxform', 'true_add_ajaxform'); 
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_ajaxform', 'true_add_ajaxform');

JS

var formType = '';
var page = document.location.href;
if (thParent.find('#actHidd .textAr').length > 0) {
    formType = 'author=' + thParent.find('#author').val() + '&comment=' + thParent.find('#actHidd .textAr').val() + '&idComment=' + jQuery('#commentCount').val() + '&rating=' + jQuery(".starRating input[type='radio']:checked").val() + '&action=ajaxcomments';
} else {
    formType = 'name=' + thParent.find('.callName').val() + '&phone=' + thParent.find('.callPhone').val() + '&nameForm=' + thParent.find('.callTitle').text() + '&page=' + page + '&action=ajaxform';
}

jQuery.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
    data: formType,

    success: function(newComment) {
        jQuery('#submit').addClass('clack');
        // console.log('clack');
        console.log(newComment);
        //                    alert(newComment);


        if (jQuery(this).is('#ericSend')) {
            jQuery('#innerEric').css({
                "display": "none"
            });
            thParent.find('.final').css({
                "display": "block"
            });
        } else if (jQuery(this).is('#sendForm')) {
            jQuery('#actHidd').css({
                "display": "none"
            });
            thParent.find('.final').css({
                "display": "block"
            });
        }
        thParent.find('.hiddForm').css({
            "display": "none"
        });
        thParent.find('.final').css({
            "display": "block"
        });

    }
});

When we use debug see this

The Solutions:

Below are the methods you can try. The first solution is probably the best. Try others if the first one doesn’t work. Senior developers aren’t just copying/pasting – they read the methods carefully & apply them wisely to each case.

Method 1

This is the cause of your problem:

function true_add_ajaxform(){
    ...
    function set_html_content_type() {
        return 'text/html';
    }

}

You shouldn’t nest function definitions! Move it out of the function like this:

function true_add_ajaxform(){
    ...
}

function set_html_content_type() {
    return 'text/html';
}
