$_POST returns empty on form submit in wordpress
forms, php, post, wordpress
Solution
If your passing the name as a Post value, wordpress DOSNT like this!
change this
<input type="text" name="name" value="" placeholder="Your First and Last Name *" />
to
<input type="text" name="thename" value="" placeholder="Your First and Last Name *" />
changing the name to thename, Will work guaranteed! ;)
Problem
I have a form: ``` <form action="<?php echo the_permalink(); ?>" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="name" value="" placeholder="Your First and Last Name *" /> <?php echo $firstnameError; ?> <input type="text" name="email" value="" placeholder="Yoyr Email" /> <?php echo $emailError; ?> <br> <input type="text" name="company" value="" placeholder="Your Company Name" /> <input type="text" name="phone" value="" placeholder="Your Phone number" /> <textarea name="project" rows="4" cols="50" placeholder="Describe the scope of work and the most important features of the project *'"></textarea> <?php echo $addressError; ?> <br> <input type="radio" name="budget" value="1500" /> <input type="radio" name="budget" value="2500" /> <input type="radio" name="budget" value="5000" /> <input type="radio" name="budget" value="10000" /> <input type="radio" name="budget" value="100001" /> <input type="radio" name="budget" value="not sure" /> <input type="hidden" name="submit" value="1" /> <input type="submit" value="SUbmit" /> </form> ``` It actions to the same page, but when I do `print_r($_POST);` it does not print anything, i.e. no value in `$_POST`. What could be the reason(s) for this? I studied a few questions on SO on this but none gave me the answer I was looking for.
