WordPress PHP Form Won’t Send

2 comments

1. OK Guys,

   Looks like I’ve finally figured out the problem. All the code, in all it’s variations was fine and works, except for one tiny thing. The variable ‘$name’ is used by the WordPress system to display the blog name, and as I was using that as my variable for the name field on my form it was causing issues. Who knew.

   Anyway, I simply changed it to use ‘$fullName’ and changed the id and name attributes on the form to ‘full-name’ and everything worked great.

   Thanks to @maiorano84 for pointing me in the right direction to debug the problem.

   Anyway, below is my amended code, so others can make use of it.

   Form Code

   <form name="quick-contact" class="quick-contact" method="post" action="<?php bloginfo( 'url' ); ?>/get-in-touch/">
       <h3>Request a Call Back</h3>
       <h4><label for="full-name">Full Name</label></h4>
       <input id="full-name" name="full-name" type="text" />
       <h4><label for="email">Email</label></h4>
       <input id="email" name="email" type="text" />
       <h4><label for="phone">Phone</label></h4>
       <input id="phone" name="phone" type="text" />
       <input id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
       <input type="hidden" name="required" id="required" class="required" />
   </form>
   

   PHP Code

   <?php
       /*
       * Template Name: Contact
       */
   ?>
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <?php
       if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST" ) {
           $to = get_option( 'admin_email' );
   
           if( trim( $_POST['full-name'] ) === '' ) {
               $nameError = 'You did not enter your name.';
               $hasError = true;
           } else {
               $fullName = trim( $_POST['full-name'] );
           }
   
           if( trim( $_POST['email'] ) === '' ) {
               $emailError = 'You did not enter your email address.';
               $hasError = true;
           } else if( !preg_match( "/^[[:alnum:]][a-z0-9_.-]*@[a-z0-9.-]+.[a-z]{2,4}$/i", trim( $_POST['email'] ) ) ) {
               $emailError = 'You entered an invalid email address.';
               $hasError = true;
           } else {
               $email = trim( $_POST['email'] );
           }
   
           if( trim( $_POST['phone'] ) === '' ) {
               $phoneError = 'You did not enter your telephone number.';
               $hasError = true;
           } else if( !is_numeric( $_POST['phone'] ) ) {
               $phoneError = 'You have entered an invalid phone number.';
               $hasError = true;
           } else {
               $phone = trim( $_POST['phone'] );
           }
   
           if( !empty( $_POST['required'] ) ) {
               $requiredError = 'You appear to be a robot. If you are human, please try again.';
               $hasError = true;
           }
