Mail not sent when using a form as a dynamic plugin

I have followed the video tutorial for Framework Builder. The google map (static plugin) and the forms (dynamic plugin) are working as expected.

I have also applyed email functionality to the forms. The default form (Send us a message) is workin as it should. Mail is sent and the user is redirected to the "thank you" page as he should be.

For the second form (Ask us a question) the mail is not sent and the user is not redirected to the "thank you" page. (No error messages. The user is redirected back to the contact page)

Email for both forms are set up the same way and the "Send us a message" page and the "Ask us a question" page are working when I test the plugin pages one by one.

The problem is that the "Ask us a question" page is not working when included as a dynamic plugin.

You can test it on live URL here: contact.php

I'm also attaching my working files.

Rune

the forms action needs to include the querystring varaible to load the Ask A Question plugin on submit.

change:

php:
<form class="FrostyEscape_Basic" id="Default_FrostyEscape_Basic" name="Default_FrostyEscape_Basic" method="post"  action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>">



to:

php:
<form class="FrostyEscape_Basic" id="Default_FrostyEscape_Basic" name="Default_FrostyEscape_Basic" method="post"  action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]); ?><?php echo (isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "")?"?".htmlentities($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]):""?>">

Mail not sent when adding captcha security to my forms

I have added captcha security to my forms. The captcha looks ok, but emails are not sent after adding captcha security. Adding captcha security is the only modification I have done to the forms. Can you see why sending emails is not working after adding captcha security?

You can test it on live URL here: contact.php

I'm also attaching my working files.

Thanks in advice

Rune

in the plugins/form_message file, the code that generates the captcha image:

<img src="../webassist/captcha/wavt_captchasecurityimages.php?field=Security_2&font=fonts/MOM_T___.TTF" alt="Security Code" class="Captcha" />


also sets the mname of the captcha session through the field querystring parameter.

the captcha session naming convention is:
captcha_<FieldQuesrtystring>


in th is case ht efiled questystring:
field=Security_2

is equal to:
Security_2

so the captcha session is:
captcha_Security_2


in the validation code:

php:
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE((strtolower(isset($_POST["Security"])?$_POST["Security"]:"")) . "",((isset($_SESSION["captcha_Security"]))?strtolower($_SESSION["captcha_Security"]):"") . "",true,5);




you are using a session named captcha_Security instead, change that to:

php:
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE((strtolower(isset($_POST["Security"])?$_POST["Security"]:"")) . "",((isset($_SESSION["captcha_Security_2"]))?strtolower($_SESSION["captcha_Security_2"]):"") . "",true,5);
