Solution 1:

Firstly, you don't have a submit with the "submit" name attribute to go with $_POST['submit'] and that's the reason why it's failing, so nothing in there if(isset($_POST['submit'])){...} will get executed.

So do this:

<button type="submit" class="getPasswordButton" name="submit">Send</button>

or an input:

<inputtype="submit"class="getPasswordButton" name="submit" value="Send">

Plus, MYSQL_ASSOC needs to be MYSQLI_ASSOC. You can't mix MySQL functions.

However, looking at if(mysqli_num_rows($sql2) < 1){ that may need to be changed using > operator. Doing < 1 tells MySQL if it does not exist; an insight.

Solution 2:

Your form must have an action attribute. Its value must be the name of the script file that handle the form.

<formaction="your/php/script.php"method="post">

or, if the php script is on the same page with the form, you can write:

<formaction="<?phpecho$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"method="post">
