I have a contact form that I used lot’s of times before on other non WP sites but it doesn’t seem to work on my current WP site, it just redirects you to a page not found.
I don’t want to use any plugins to create it.
Here’s the code:
<form class="form" method="POST" action="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<table border="0" style="float:left;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Company Name:</p>
</td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="companyname" id="companyname" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Your Name:</p>
</td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" id="name" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>E-mail:</p>
</td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" id="email" /></td>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Telephone:</p>
</td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="tel" id="tel" /></td>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table border="0" style="float:left;" width="450">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><p style="margin-left:42px;margin-right:10px;margin-top:7px;">Enquiry:</p></td>
<td><textarea name="enquiry"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><button class="blue medium awesome awesomeforward" type="submit" name="submit">Send message</button></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<? if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "rob@teamworksdesign.com";
$subject = "Teamworks contact enquiry";
$companyname_field = $_POST['companyname'];
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$tel_field = $_POST['tel'];
$enquiry_field = $_POST['enquiry'];
$body = "Hello Teamworks,nn You have an enquiry from the website, please see the details below:nn Name: $name_fieldn Company Name: $companyname_fieldn E-Mail: $email_fieldn Tel: $tel_fieldn Message:n $enquiry_fieldnn Please reply to the enquiry asap.nn Kind Regards n The Teamworks Website";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
echo "</br>Thank you for getting in touch, we will contact you shortly.";
} ?>
</form>
When dealing with forms you need to make sure that your form doesn’t have a few specific filed names like: name,day,month,year and I’m sure that a few more, so make your form fields names more specific like: contact_name,contact_day,contact_month,contact_year.
in your case change
name="name"to anything else.
