Contact form in WordPress

[Chameleon]

Hello,

I have a contact form script that I would like to use in my wordpress blog but doesn't seem to work correctly in wordpress. Is there anything special I have to do in the markup to get it working??

Thanks!

[Force Flow]

Is this a plugin, and if so, what plugin?

Or, is this a completely customized script?

[Chameleon]

Its a custom script. Not sure if I have to set the cantact page up diffrent. Any help would be great!

[Force Flow]

In that case, much more detail on the script and problem would be necessary. Relevant source code would also be helpful.

What version of wordpress are you running?

Was this script working before an upgrade and not after?

heres the whole file im trying to get to work:

I have a contact form script that I would like to use in my wordpress blog but doesn't seem to work correctly in wordpress.

What isn't working exactly? Do you see any error messages? (use PHP: error_reporting - Manual to enable error reporting, so long as it isn't turned off at the server level)

error_reporting(E_ALL);

I get the following:

ok well, the script isnt showing the errors or sending the email if all fields are filled out right..... any idea?

[Force Flow]

None of the variables within your if-statement are available where you try to access them in your HTML.

If you want to use variables that are within in your if-statement, you will need to define them outside in order to have access to them

For example, this is what your code is doing:

<?php
if($something==true){
    $thing=true;
}
?>
 
<html><body>
    <?php if($thing==true){?><p>Thing is true!</p><?php } ?>
</body></html>

This would throw an error because the $thing variable isn't accessible from inside the if-statement.

This is how you should write it to have access to the $thing variable outside of the if-statement:

<?php
 
$thing=false;
 
if($something==true){
    $thing=true;
}
?>
 
<html><body>
    <?php if($thing==true){?><p>Thing is true!</p><?php } ?>
</body></html>

[edit]: nevermind, I had forgotten that PHP doesn't have its own scope for if-statements, so while this isn't technically valid for PHP, it's still good to put into practice to ensure good, clean, bug-free code.

thanks for all of the help!

the problem was this

<?php if(isset($_POST['Submit_x'])) {

had to change it to this:

<?php if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
