How can I put a dynamic link into my e-mail form?

[feilisha]

Is it possible to embed a dynamic link into an e-mail form's action? It doesn't seem to work for me, so what is the proper way?

 

Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!

Post your code.

You might just need to look at the form action part of the code, but I included the whole code just in case.

Thank you for your time.

Can you post the code where you actually attempt this? Its still pretty unclear as to what exactly you want to do.

 

Well also need a description of whats not working.

[feilisha]

The end of the code, I highlighted the part in "red".

 

<form action="index.php?x=form" method="post"><p>

<label><input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="<?php get_data("name"); ?>" /> Name</label><br />

<label><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php get_data("email"); ?>" /> E-mail</label><br />

<label><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="<?php get_data("url"); ?>" /> Website</label><br />

<label><input type="text" name="location" id="location" value="<?php get_data("location"); ?>" /> Location</label><br />

<label><textarea name="comments" id="comments"><?php get_data("comments"); ?></textarea> Comments</label><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send" />

</p></form>

 

The link in read in the aforementioned code will not redirect to the "form" page once you submit your information in the available contact form. It works when the link in red is just 'form.php'.

 

 

[trq]

If your action was index.php?x=form then in index.php you would need something like...

 

<?php

  if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    // process form
    if (isset($_GET['x'])) {
      // redirect user to form.php
      if (file_exists($_GET['x'] . '.php')) {
        header('Location: ' . $_GET['x'] . '.php');
      }
    }
  }

?>

 

Is this what your trying to do?

 

[feilisha]

That is exactly what I am looking for; however, when I put it into my index.php, the forms doesn't work.

Here is my index.php's code:

 

 

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php 
if (isset($_GET['x'])) {
if (strpos($_GET['x'], "/")) {
$dir = substr(str_replace('..', '', $_GET['x']), 0, strpos($_GET['x'], "/")) . "/";
$file = substr(strrchr($_GET['x'], "/"), 1);
if (file_exists($dir.$file.".php")) {
include($dir.$file.".php");
} else {
include("pages/default.php");
}
} else {
if (file_exists(basename($_GET['x']).".php")) {
include(basename($_GET['x']).".php");
} else {
include("pages/default.php");
}
}
} else {
include("pages/default.php");
} ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

 

[trq]

Because you posting to index.php not form.php (which I assume is where your form processing logic is).

 

Its a simple matter of logic. Your form must be submitted to the page you wish to process the form.

 

Theres other ways of doing it, but I think your ever complicating the process.

[feilisha]

I know I've been ever complicating the process. I just need a way out of it, sweet and simple.
