I’m trying to make MailHandler.php to work with WordPress. I have tried a dozen of solutions but non of them worked. Here are the workarounds that I did with the “forms.js” file I’ve tried:
1.) Change “bin/MailHandler.php” to “mail/mailhandler.php”
- ) Here are some original codes that I have changed too:
mailHandlerURL:’../mail/mailhandler.php’ was changed to
mailHandlerURL:’http://www.mysite.net/wp-content/themes/mysite/mail/mailhandler.php’,
THEN ALSO TRIED:
mailHandlerURL:’<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/mail/mailhandler.php’,
In the contact_template.php is where my form is located. Here are some things I tried for the form action and none of them worked:
**<form action="../mail/mailhandler.php" id="contact-form">** Changed to
**<form action="http://www.mysite.net/wp-content/themes/mysite/mail/mailhandler.php" id="contact-form">**
AND
<form action="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/mail/mailhandler.php" id="contact-form">
Please help.
By the way my smtpMailServer is set to localhost inside my forms.js.
Thanks in advance.
ADDITIONAL INFO
Below are the codes of my mailhandler.php
<?php
$owner_email = $_POST["me@mysite.com"]; /*/originally owner_email/*/
$headers = 'From:' . $_POST["email"];
$subject = 'A message from your site visitor ' . $_POST["name"];
$messageBody = "";
if($_POST['name']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Visitor: ' . $_POST["name"] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['email']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Email Address: ' . $_POST['email'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['phone']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Phone Number: ' . $_POST['phone'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['message']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Message: ' . $_POST['message'] . '</p>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST["stripHTML"] == 'true'){
$messageBody = strip_tags($messageBody);
}
try{
if(!mail($owner_email, $subject, $messageBody, $headers)){
throw new Exception('mail failed');
}else{
echo 'mail sent';
}
}catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage() ."\n";
}
?>

This line
$owner_email = $_POST["me@mysite.com"]; /*/originally owner_email/*/is funny. I’m pretty sure that POST variable won’t exist.Try
$owner_email = $_POST["owner_email"];.Or did you actually mean to statically/permanently change the value of
$owner_emailto “me@mysite.com”? If so you want to set it to the string,$owner_email = "me@mysite.com";, and NOT the POST variable called “me@mysite.com”…
