Basic PHP Script to Pass Post Varables

Do you have a URL where the form is?

Here is the first page, the form is entered as html in the page content:

Page 1 form: https://pastebin.com/Lk8kFZUC

When the form is submitted, the post data is being sent to ‘page-results’, below is the PHP that’s above the header in my page reults

Page 2 ‘page-results’: https://pastebin.com/mZmC4uXV

The first problem is that when you submit the first page (which goes to localhost/page-results) – it takes you to the correct URL but it says page not found.

If you load localhost/page-results without submitting the form it does open.

Is there something special I need to setup in functions in order to pass POST data from one page to another using basic PHP methods?

Hi,

1) Try your action as action="https://localhost/page-results.php"
2) What’s happening in the validateForm(); javascript you have on submit?

If you’re passing the post data correctly you shouldn’t need to do anything special for it to work…

In case anyone comes across this with a similar issue, I found the problem. The variables I’m using in my form were interfering with WordPress’ permalinks. I changed my variables to have custom names and it resolved the issue.

Hope this helps someone out down the line.
