Submit button

Try this basic form using wp_mail(’email address’, ‘subject’, ‘message’); function to send out the email

<?php

//require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-blog-header.php');
$my_email = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Testing a form..';
if( isset( $_POST['send'] ) ) {
	$text = isset( $_POST['text'] ) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['text']) : '';
	if( $text !== '' ) {
		wp_mail($my_email, $subject, $text);
		echo '<p>Email sent!</p>';
	}
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
	<textarea name="text" placeholder="Enter your message here" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>
	<br />
	<input type="submit" value="Send" name="send" />
</form>

I tried this code and when i choose send, the message “email sent” is appeared but i don’t receive any email.

Something which works is this:
<form action=”MAILTO:[email protected]” method=”post” name=”” enctype=”text/plain”>

Thanks for your help!

Did you add your email address in this line $my_email = '[email protected]'; ? Are you trying to run the email on localhost?

You’re welcome.

Well, i had writen something wrong. It works!

One last question:
My form comsist of a lot of fields. So, should i write the code

$text = isset( $_POST['text'] ) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['text']) : '';
	if( $text !== '' ) {
		wp_mail($my_email, $subject, $text);
		echo '<p>Email sent!</p>';
	}

for each field seperately?

Just add more additional fields in the form (HTML) ie:

<textarea name="text" placeholder="Enter your message here" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>
<input type="email" name="your_email" placeholder="your email" />
<input type="url" name="your_website" placeholder="your website" />

And to get their values use $_POST asosiated with their name attributes:

$_POST["your_email"]
$_POST["your_website"]

And since you’re just emailing the output to yourself (not inserting to a database) you don’t need to worry about sanitizing or stripping html so as to avoid SQL injection, just, add the values to $text variable which will be sent at the end:

$text = isset( $_POST['text'] ) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['text']) : '';

$text .= isset( $_POST['my_email'] ) ? "\n" . $_POST['my_email'] : '';
$text .= isset( $_POST['my_email'] ) ? "\n" . $_POST['my_email'] : '';

if( $text !== '' ) {
	wp_mail($my_email, $subject, $text);
	echo '<p>Email sent!</p>';
}

Have fun with your code ??

OK! Thanks again for your help!
