email redirect and mod rewrite pages

3/06/2019 7:27 am | #1 Jamie

Hi Ray

Have got a contact form set up which redirects to itself on both validation fail and success...this is fine on a static page but on a dynamic mod rewritten page, it doesnt redirect to the mod rewritten value but the actual filename itself.

If I echo SERVER_URI to the page it shows the mod rewritten value but the redirect doesnt.

the validation is

<?php 
if (isset($_POST["ContactForm"]) || isset($_POST["ContactForm_x"]))  {
  $WAFV_Redirect = "".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']  ."#validfail";
  $_SESSION['WAVT_contactform_Errors'] = "";
  if ($WAFV_Redirect == "")  {
    $WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
  }
  $WAFV_Errors = "";
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ((isset($_POST["Name"])?$_POST["Name"]:"") . "",true,1);
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ((isset($_POST["Telephone"])?$_POST["Telephone"]:"") . "",true,2);
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateEM((isset($_POST["Email_Address"])?$_POST["Email_Address"]:"") . "",true,3);
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRX(((isset($_POST["emailx"]))?$_POST["emailx"]:"") . "","/^$/i",false,4);
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["Area_of_Interest"]))?$_POST["Area_of_Interest"]:"") . "",false,5);

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

and the email side of things is

<?php
if (isset($_POST["ContactForm"]) || isset($_POST["ContactForm_x"]))     {  //WA Universal Email
  $Email = new WA_Email("waue_sayhello_1");
  $Email->Redirect = "".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']  ."?sent=1&#success";
  $Email->From = "College Chambers <noreply@motley.site>";
  $Email->Importance = "1";
  $Email->BurstSize = "200";
  $Email->BurstTime = "1";
  $Email->WaitTime = "1";
  $Email->addTo("jamie@motley.co.uk");
  $Email->BodyFile = "webassist/email/templates/Blank.php";
  if (function_exists("rel2abs") && $Email->Redirect) $Email->Redirect = $Email->Redirect?rel2abs($Email->Redirect,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
  for ($emailGroup=0; $emailGroup<sizeof($Email->To); $emailGroup++) {
    $Email->Subject = "Website Enquiry";
    $Email->send($emailGroup);
  }
  $Email->close();
}
?>

Have put a link to a mod rewritten page in the PM and if you scroll down you will see the form on the page

TIA

The issue appears to be the form action. I think if you remove the action from the form it will automatically use the URI.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

thanks Ray. the failed validation sort of works but it appends ?perm=news-article-4 so that it looks like

college/article/news-article-4#validfail?perm=news-article-4

unfortunately, the success redirect still isnt working and still redirects to the actual filename

On the page:
/includes/contact/send_email.php on line 4 you have:
$Email->Redirect = "".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ."?sent=1&#success";

That should be:
$Email->Redirect = "".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ."?sent=1&#success";

I updated the file:
/webassist/form_validations/wavt_scripts_php.php

I made it so that it won't append a url parameter if the link has a hash "#" in it. That should fix the failed redirect issue. You will want to back that file up so you don't accidentally replace it later since it will be re-generated when you update or add server validations.
