connect form page on wordpress with php file

1 Views

I created form on one page in my wordpress: 

<form action="scores_send.php" method="post">
<strong>Date: </strong><input type="date" name="date" /><br /> 
<strong>TEAM 1:</strong>
Player 1.: <input type="text" name="team1_player1" /><br /> 
Player 2.: <input type="text" name="team1_player2" /><br /> 
<strong>TEAM 2:</strong>
Player 1.: <input type="text" name="team2_player1" /><br /> 
Player 2.: <input type="text" name="team2_player2" /><br /> 
<strong>SCORE:</strong>
Team 1. <input type="number" name="score_team1" min="0" max="5"/> : <input type="number" name="score_team2"  min="0" max="5"/> Team 2.<br /> 
<input type="submit" value="Add" /> 
</form>

And also I wrote php code which connect to my external (no-wordpress) postgres database (connection parameters in code are not true) and insert information from form to one table:

<?php
$date = $_POST['date']; 
$t1p1 = $_POST['team1_player1']; 
$t1p2 = $_POST['team1_player2'];
$t2p1 = $_POST['team2_player1']; 
$t2p2 = $_POST['team2_player2'];
$score1 = $_POST['score_team1'];
$score2 = $_POST['score_team2'];

if($date and $t1p1 and $t1p2 and $t2p1 and $t2p2 and $score1 and $score2) { 

    $connection = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=scores user=user password=pass")
    or die('Brak polaczenia z serwerem PostgreSQL'); 
    $db = @pg_select_db('scores', $connection) 
    or die('Nie moge polaczyc sie z baza danych'); 

    $team1 = @pg_query("INSERT INTO scores.games (score_team1, score_team2, datetime, team1_player1, team1_player2, team2_player1, team2_player2) VALUES ('$score1', '$score2', '$date', '$t1p1', '$t1p2', '$t2p1', '$t2p2'"); 

    if($team1) echo "Scores added."; 
    else echo "ERROR! Scores not added"; 
     pg_close($connection); 
} 
?>

I tried 2 ways:
1. to create template php file in folder of my theme and
2. to paste this code to content editor in wordpress (using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/)

and both ways is not working. I changed part “action” in , but maybe wrong.

  2. You should use http://example.com/page-slug/ in form action

    Where page-slug is the slug of another page create by make scores_send.php as template.It will post all form value to score_send.php.From where you can proceed further to insert into external DB. 

    <form action="http://example.com/page-slug/" method="post">
