Contactus.php form is not sending form data

Contactus.php form is not sending form data

I've installed the contact form solution pack. I got the form placed into an exiting webpage and uploaded it on the web server. The form looks great but is not sending anything. I click the submit button and nothing happens. The information that were placed in the form resets.

Question?
1. Do I need to give the contactus.php a "form Action" or leave it blank?

Can someone provide solutions.

No, the action of the form should be left blank.


For the contact form to function you need to make sure you have copied all of the needed code from the original contactus.php page to your existing page.

There are three code chunks you need:

1) All of the code from line 1 of the contactus.php page until the <doctype...> tag:

php:
<?php require_once('WA_Globals/WA_Globals.php');?>
<?php 
require_once("WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php 
require_once("WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php 
require_once("WA_Universal_Email/mail_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php 
require_once("WA_Universal_Email/MailFormatting_PHP.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_code"]))?strtolower($_POST["Security_code"]):"") . "",((isset($_SESSION["captcha_1"]))?strtolower($_SESSION["captcha_1"]):"") . "",true,4);
  
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE(((isset($_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");
  }
}
?>
<?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)))     {
  
//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");
  }
}
?>




2) in the head, you need to copy the spry assets code:

php:
<script  src="SpryAssets/SpryValidationTextField.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script  src="SpryAssets/SpryValidationTextarea.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style>
.textfieldServerError {
  display:block;
  margin:0px;
  color:#CC3333;
  border: 1px solid #CC3333;
}
</style>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryValidationTextField.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryValidationTextarea.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />




in the body, you need to copy the entire form, including the spry init code:

php:
<form  action="" method="post" name="emailContact" id="emailContact" onsubmit="">
  <div style="width:100%">
    <label for="Contact_Name" >Your name:</label>

    <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span></span>
    <input name="addblock" type="text" id="addblock" style="display:none" value="" />

  if ((

Make sure you dont change the names of any of the form elements. Also, if you remove any of them, you will need to remove the code that validates that form element.

Contactus form not working

Thank for providing us with this information. I will try this today.
What is strange....We did not remove any code. This is the same file that was downloaded from Webassist. Can you check and verify. We need to know because if we need to download a fresh copy it would be a bad copy.

I'm confused. In your initial question you say:

  I got the form placed into an exiting webpage  




This suggests to me that you are copying the form from the supplied contactus.php page into another page. Is this not the case?

No, we used the same form that was downloaded from Webassist.

Also, the code that you provided included a fill for phone number which was not in the download from Webassist. The number fill is good to have but it is in the wrong place.
It is following the submit button.

Jason,

I tried the form again but it still did not work.

I am attaching the content of the form so you can see what I have configured.

I'm sorry, the code I copied initially was from a contact form I had modified slightly, the phone number should not have been included.

I have modified the code in my previous reply to be the code from an unmodified contactus.php page.


I would like you to upload the attached file to your server to see if session management is working. Once uploaded, can you please provide a link.

Jason,
The form has been uploaded already.

This is a link to the form. I have not changed anything to code of the zipped file that I emailed back to you.
