[SOLVED] Wordpress contact form - getting 404 on send

[Aso]

Hi All

Another Wordpress question I know(!)

I'm using

PHP: Select all

<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

// Run processing

if (@mail($recipient, $subject, $msg) {

// send email otherwise output error

}
}
?>

followed by

Code: Select all

<form method="post" action="/contact/">
<!--form inputs-->
</form>

If my form doesn't validate (i.e missing or invalid inputs) the PHP returns the form fine with the appropriate errors I've configured and the values retained in the input boxes etc.

But as soon as it's actually ready to 'mail', I get a 404!? I've used this form in the past fine, but I wondered if there was anything that could interfere with the Wordpress core?

Ideally I want to code my own and not use a plugin - thing is, the various form plugins work fine and I can't work out where I'm going wrong.

You're missing a parenthesis in your if statement.

if (@mail($recipient, $subject, $msg)

should be

if (@mail($recipient, $subject, $msg))

Sorry Rakuli, that's a typo in the post. The script is working fine, but for some reason (when it comes to sending) Wordpress throws a 404 at me.

I read somewhere about using a mail function defined in the Wordpress core - anyone know about this?

BUG I just ran a quick test and everything was A OK. Seems like I'm going to have to do a bit of a rewrite


EDIT: After further debugging, I think it was down to using variables that conflicted with the Wordpress core. So just for anyone in the same situation, make sure you're using unique variables!!
