Custom WordPress Page With Contact Form

1 Views

I am trying to create a contact form for a WordPress site. FYI: The client wants the form to be static so they don’t need to be able to change it in the future. I found this form online. I put it into my custom page in WordPress. I also put a mail.php file on my server. When I click submit it hijacks me to my homepage/main theme page and my message is never sent. I don’t understand why it takes me to the homage an how I fix this.

  1. This is the simplest form, it’s open to injection..

    $subject ="write something here";

// Details 
$message = "write something here";

// Mail of sender 
$mail_from = $_POST['customer_mail'];

// From 
$header="fromfrom: yourname <yourdomain@yourdomain.con>";

// Enter your email address 
$to ='$mail_from';

    And put the rest of the code after it..

    EDIT:

    $subject = $_POST['details'];

// Mail of sender 
$mail_from = $_POST['customer_mail'];

// From 
$name = $_POST['name'];

// Details 
$message = 'E-mail sent from: '.$mail_from.'rnName: '.$nane.'rn'.$_POST['details'];

// Enter your email address 
$to ='yourdomain@yourdomain.com';

$mail=mail($to,$subject,$message);

    FINAL EDIT:

      <?

if (isset($_POST['customer_mail'])) {

  $subject = $_POST['detail'];

  // Mail of sender 
  $mail_from = $_POST['customer_mail'];

  // From 
  $name = $_POST['name'];

  // Details 
  $message = 'E-mail sent from: '.$mail_from.'rnName: '.$name.'rn'.$_POST['detail'];

  // Enter your email address 
  $to ='yourdomain@yourdomain.com'; //edit this

  $mail=mail($to,$subject,$message);

  echo "Your mail has been sent";

} else {

?>
