Thank you.

You are awesome.

Thanks once again to @bcworkz for orchestrating this help.

@amybryde, thanks so much for your assistance.

If that’s ok, you can send it to my email address at ciss1 at att dot net.

If in the future, someone else needs it, then I will be glad to make it available to the individual.

We certainly don’t want your website compromised just for trying to do good.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi @amybryde.

Thanks so much for your time and help.

As they say, good deeds beget good deeds.

As indicated to @bcworkz, I am pretty decent when it comes to coding in php but integrating with WordPress is a different animal.

I really appreciate your help and promise to pay it forward one way or another.

Ok, my first swipe at hopefully not irritating you.

I have created template called register.php.

This is strictly HTML markups. User completes the form, click the NEXT button and is taken to review.php. This is where user verifies his/her information for accuracy. If all goes well, s/he clicks submit. The info passed from this page is processed on process.php page.

register.php is on the themes folder.

review.php and process.php are inside a folder called forms which is on the root directory.

Everything works well so far.

Here is the issue. Once a user clicks the submit button, we would like the user and the admin of the wordpress site to both receive emails.

So far, there are no errors but no email is going out.

I know I am doing something wrong.

Any ideas please?

Here is the code on pastebin.

Thanks very much indeed.

Thank you, thank you very much for your kindness.

Will be ok if I run my code by you when I am done with it and I have problem getting it to work?

I will do all I can to avoid bothering but will really appreciate some help if I can’t get it working.

Thank you very much.

Hi helper,

Sorry I am late this one. Got pulled away for a minute.

Just one more question and that will set me off on my own.

You indicated that all I need to get started is a page template from page.php and start off straight with HTML search form.

My question is I know I need to put a comment at top of page to let wordpress know this is a template, do I need another template for search results?

If yes, does it still need to comment tag top of the page.

Do they need to reside on same folder as the searchform and say page.php?

These are the confusing parts of it.

I have written a php search script that works a treat but I recognize that it takes a bit more work to get a regular php search script to work with wordpress.

Life could be simpler if wordpress allows us to plug in our won search pages without the tweaking that most of us don’t understand.

@bcworkz, thank you for the very detailed explanation.

Yes, my database is part of the WP.

I probably didn’t explain myself well when I said that perhaps you can guide me.

When I meant to say is that you can probably show me which of @amybryde’s code is the search form and which one is the search result form.

If I can determine which is which, I am confident I can adapt them to my needs.

About creating my own template off of page.php, I guess one of my confusions is if I use the template that I am creating off of page.php and enter search form there, where do I get search results?

@bcworkz,

I was so impressed with the incredible amount of patience you showed in helping @amybryde get the search working.

@adilsweet, that was not helpful because I have no idea what you mean.

Besides, I wanted custom search for our custom tables.

That’s why the thread between @amybryde and @bcworkz is exactly what I would like to have.

I tried copying her solutions and modify but it was hard for me to determine which one is the searchform and which one is the search results.

Perhaps, if @bcworkz can guide me in that direction, I can probably make them work.
