How to add custom HTML form in wordpress?

1. Here’s a blog post explaining how to do that and more: http://shibulijack.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/create-custom-forms-in-wordpress/

   Basically you can just add the form html to a page in the page editor (in the text mode) and use your php script url as the form’s action attribute.

4. Here is what i did once, im pretty sure that there is a better way to do this though:

   File: myform.php, in the root of the wordpress folder
   <?php
   set_include_path(
       get_include_path().PATH_SEPERATOR.
       pathinfo($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'],PATHINFO_DIRNAME));
   
   require('wp-blog-header.php');
   
   header('response: 200 OK');
   
   //change this to match the theme,.. maybe use a function from wordpress instead, i was in a hurry so i didnt make it fancy like that
   include "wp-content/themes/twentyten/header.php";
    // Form code here...
   include "wp-content/themes/twentyten/footer.php";
   ?>
   

   then make a new page in the wordpress administration area and put this code in the source view:

   <script type="text/javascript">window.location.href='path/to/myform.php';</script>

   But as said, this is kind of a bad way to do it, it got the job done though.
