Need Help With Form that's Not Working

If anyone has a moment can you look at this form and tell me why it's not working?
I have tried everything I can think of to make it work.

contactus.php

This is the second form on the web site, so I renamed the global file and linked to it as I read in another post.

Give the submit button a name:

php:
<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="inputButton" name="submit" />




then change this line:

php:
if ((($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") && (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]) && strpos(urldecode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]), urldecode($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])) > 0) && isset($_POST)))     {



to:

php:
if ((isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] != ""))     {

thank you for trying to help me, but I made the changes and still it's not working. I'm thinking I might just be better off to start over, but this is a big form to recreate.

I've attached the current set of files as is, and the link above reflects the form in it's current state.

If you have time could you please look again?

I really appreciate it.
Kathy

this code block:

php:
<?php 

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")  {
  
$WAFV_Redirect "";
  
$_SESSION['WAVT_contact_Errors'] = "";
  if (
$WAFV_Redirect == "")  {
    
$WAFV_Redirect $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
  }
  
$WAFV_Errors "";
  
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["Contact_Name"]))?$_POST["Contact_Name"]:"") . "",true,1);
  
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateEM(((isset($_POST["Email_address"]))?$_POST["Email_address"]:"") . "",true,2);
  
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["Comments"]))?$_POST["Comments"]:"") . "",true,3);
    
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE(((isset($_POST["Security_question"]))?strtolower($_POST["Security_question"]):"") . "",((isset($_SESSION["random_answer"]))?strtolower($_SESSION["random_answer"]):"") . "",true,5);
  
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRX(((isset($_POST["addblock"]))?$_POST["addblock"]:"") . "","/^$/i",false,6);
  
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRX(((isset($_POST["seconddblock"]))?$_POST["seconddblock"]:"") . "","/^$/i",false,7);

  if (
$WAFV_Errors != "")  {
    
PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"contact");
  }
}
?>




is trying to validate form elements that do not exist in your form.

delete that block of code do that it will not try validating these non existing elements.

Ahh! Making progress. It is emailing me the form now. BUT it is not taking me to the thank you page. It just submits and stays on the page- acts like it's not working. But it is. Just not redirecting.

:)

Since this is the second form on the web site, am I missing something about the redirect with regards to that?

probably a php error preventing the redirect, add the following code at line 1 to turn on error reporting:

php:
<?php
error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>




most common problem is the headers already sent error, see this post for details:
showthread.php?t=19285

this is line 12
<?php
if ((isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] != "")) {
//WA Universal Email object="mail"
//Send Loop Once Per Entry
$RecipientEmail = "".($WAGLOBAL_Contact_Email_To) ."";include("../WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_contact_1.php");

//Send Mail All Entries
if ("index.php"!="") {
header("Location: thankyou.php");
}
}
?>

I had a typo in my code that i sent you, it should be:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>




send the latest copy of your file so i can see the code in context to troubleshoot,
