Send variable from one page to another in wordpress template
wordpress
Solution
The issue is solved. It was that, the variable "name" that I was using for this test is a WP keyword and stands for template name. In the absence of template name it looks for other pages where the beginning of url slugs matches the variable name.
I changed the variable name and it worked as it should.
Problem
I am trying to pass date from one wordpress template form to another. To make it simple, I have created two templates (and associated them with WP pages as a standard page) as follows: ``` <?php /* Template Name: Form test */ get_header(); ?> <form action="/form-result/" method="post"> <input type="text" name="name" size="20" /> <input type="submit" value="Go" /> </form> <a href="/form-result/">Result page</a> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> ``` and ``` <?php /* Template Name: Form result */ get_header(); $name = $_REQUEST['name']; ?> And the name is <?=$name?> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> ``` When I click on the text link Result page I get to the `/form-result/` page, however, if I submit the form, I get a page not found sort of error. After verifying, I found that the problem is coming from trying to pass the variable from one page to another. Pusing further, I found that `<a href="/form-result/?name=Elodie">Result page</a>` get an error page whereas `<a href="/form-result/">Result page</a>` takes me properly to the next page. Probably I am missing something small. Any help here ?
