Contact form issue

[dmaher]

I apologise for being a bit of a noob, I'm new to php. It's for a wordpress site so that doesn't always help things as trying to comprehend this and then bits of code related to wordpress make it hard to get my head around at points.

 

Basically I've been trying to add a subject field to a template contact form, I basically copied the website field code for code. However it hasn't been working, in the emails it's sending the subject comes up completely blank. What I'm not getting is that if I change:

 

$subject = $_POST['yoursubject'];

 

to

 

$subject = $_POST['website'];

 

It gets it correctly from the website field.

 

I'm not seeing where I'm going wrong...   

 

template_contact.php

 

<?php
/*
Template Name: Contact Form
*/
?>
<?php 

function checkmymail($mailadresse){
$email_flag=preg_match("!^\w[\w|\.|\-]+@\w[\w|\.|\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$!",$mailadresse);
return $email_flag;
}

if(isset($_POST['Send'])){
$error = false;
if($_POST['yourname'] != ""){$class1 = "class='ajax_valid'";}else{$class1 = "class='ajax_false'"; $error = true;}
if(checkmymail($_POST['email'])){$class2 = "class='ajax_valid'";}else{$class2 = "class='ajax_false'"; $error = true;}
if($_POST['message'] != ""){$class3 = "class='ajax_valid'";}else{$class3 = "class='ajax_false'"; $error = true;}
	$the_name = $_POST['yourname'];
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$message = $_POST['message'];
	$website = $_POST['website'];
	$yoursubject = $_POST['yoursubject'];


if($error == false){



		$to      = $_POST['myemail'];
	$subject = $_POST['yoursubject'];

I have a very basic understanding, but as it seems it ends at actually being able to alter anything, I know the copy and alter approach is sloppy at best. I've had it working with strings and other fields, just not this new one I've made. Which makes me think I may have not declared something or my code for the new field is wrong...

 

In playing around with $subject and trying different strings, the code in the template seems a bit redundant when it was the string for $subject in send.php that was used as opposed to the string for $subject in the template... why is that ?

See if this helps.  The issue I can see is you have repeated variables.  I also don't understand why you have a $message and a $message1, seems to me you could make it one variable instead of two.

 

Anyway, hope this helps.
