form action bypassing page I want

form action bypassing page I want

I have product pages and at the bottom of each bottom page, There is a submit button with action to go to a quote request page. This is the action:
<form action="quote_form.php?pdf_ID=60" method="post" id="form1">
<input name="submit1" type="image" id="submitimg" src="images/quote.jpg" alt="Request Quote" />
On the quote_form.php page I have a form and a recordset with a GET variable to receive the ?pdf_ID=60 and the recordset populates a menu list from the pdf_ID.
The form should send an email with the person's info and the product that they want a quote. The email redirect to ?success=true which would show a message on the page that the email has been sent.
I recently upgraded this page to the most recent webassist email version and now when the form action button on the product page is pressed it bypasses the quote form page and goes directly to the ?success=true and no email is sent?
Code from the quote_form.php

<?php require_once("webassist/form_validations/wavt_scripts_php.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("webassist/form_validations/wavt_validatedform_php.php"); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/connsqli.php'); ?>
<?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)) {
$WAFV_Redirect = "";
$_SESSION['WAVT_quoteform_591_Errors'] = "";
if ($WAFV_Redirect == "") {
$WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
}
$WAFV_Errors = "";
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["name1"]))?$_POST["name1"]:"") . "",false,1);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateEM(((isset($_POST["email1"]))?$_POST["email1"]:"") . "",true,2);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidatePN(((isset($_POST["phone1"]))?$_POST["phone1"]:"") . "",true,false,true,3);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["company1"]))?$_POST["company1"]:"") . "",false,4);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["quote_model"]))?$_POST["quote_model"]:"") . "",false,5);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["message1"]))?$_POST["message1"]:"") . "",false,6);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE(strtolower(((isset($_POST["Security_Code_1"]))?$_POST["Security_Code_1"]:"")) . "",strtolower($_SESSION['captcha_Security_Code_1']) . "",true,7);

if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {
PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"quoteform_591");
}
}
?>
<?php require_once('webassist/mysqli/rsobj.php'); ?>
<?php
$rs_kaeser = new WA_MySQLi_RS("rs_kaeser",$connsqli,0);
$rs_kaeser->setQuery("SELECT * FROM kaeser_models WHERE pdf_ID = ?");
$rs_kaeser->bindParam("i", "".$_GET['pdf_ID'] ."", "-1"); //var1
$rs_kaeser->execute();
?>
<?php require_once("webassist/email/WA_Email.php"); ?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit1"]) || isset($_POST["submit1_x"])) { //WA Universal Email
$Email = new WA_Email("quote_form_2");
$Email->Redirect = "?success=true";
$Email->From = "".((isset($_POST["name1"]))?$_POST["name1"]:"") ." <".((isset($_POST["email1"]))?$_POST["email1"]:"") ."";
$Email->addTo("joef@airpowerservicesinc.com");
$Email->addTo("jb@jbwebworks.com");
$Email->BodyFile = "webassist/email/waue_quote_form_1_body.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 = "Quote Request from the website";
$Email->send($emailGroup);
}
$Email->close();
}
?>

If it is going to the success page, that means it is trying to send the email. That means the issue is that you aren't receiving the email. One potential issue is your FROM address is set to come from the form. You shouldn't do that. Many email servers will reject emails that come FROM somewhere other than the actual email server that sends it.

You should probably set the from to a valid email address from your server like: "jb@jbwebworks.com"

Then you can set the Reply To address to the email address from the form so that you can still reply to the individual. I'd also update the server validations to use the same trigger as the email. Also the server validation redirect should go back to the form page where the values were filled out.

Ray,
I changed that and it did send the email but it was empty because the page where the form is is being bypassed.
See example here
https://www.airpowerservicesinc.com/mako4.php click the submit button bottom of page (action is https://www.airpowerservicesinc.com/quote_form.php?pdf_ID=63) which I want to go to the page so the person can fill out the form. But it bypasses that page and goes to https://www.airpowerservicesinc.com/quote_form.php?success=true which is after the email is sent and redirects.

Please attach a copy of both pages.

Most likely you are using the same submit form element button name on both pages. You probably just have to update the submit button name on one of the pages to make sure they are unique (probably on the first page so you don't have to update the triggers).

That was it; can't believe that I didn't think of that.....I bet you have heard that before.
Thanks and Merry Christmas, Ray!
