Contact form not working due to permalinks?

    Hello everyone, I was adding a simple contact form on my wordpress’ beta site https://www.imagina.com.uy/london/contact-international-house-montevideo/

    the ‘action’ is $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] and some code runs according to the information recived after clicking the send button.

    as I said, a simple contact form.

    Thing is, when I submit the form, wordpress isn’t recognizing the permalink and it’s giving me a not found page ??

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    just in case u’d like to see the code

    <form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" style="margin-top:15px; float:left;">
                            	<div class="block"><label>Your e-mail:</label><input type="text" name="email" value="[email protected]" /></div>
                                <div class="block"><label>Your name:</label><input type="text" name="name" value="Santiago Pardo" /></div>
                                <div class="block"><label style="width:auto;">The message:</label></div>
                                <div class="block"><textarea name="message">Hola que tal queria recibir informacion de los cursos</textarea></div>
                                <div class="block"><input type="submit" value="" name="submit" /></div>
                            </form>
                            <?php
								if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
									if (!empty($_POST['name'])) {

										if (!empty($_POST['email'])) {								

											$from = $_POST['name'] . " - " . $_POST['email'] ;
											$mensaje = $_POST['message'];
											$asunto = "Contacto desde el Sitio web";
											$done = "done";
											mail("[email protected]", "{$asunto}", "{$mensaje}", "{$from}");
											echo('<div class="popupWrapper"><div class="popup"><p>You message was sent succesfully</p><span class="popupbutt"><span><a href="#" class="hidePU">Back</a></span></span></div></div>');

										} else echo('<div class="popupWrapper"><div class="popup"><p>Remember: if you don′t type your email we<br/>can′t write you back</p><span class="popupbutt"><span><a href="#" class="hidePU">Back</a></span></span></div></div>');

									} else echo('<div class="popupWrapper"><div class="popup"><p>You forgot to write down your name</p><span class="popupbutt"><span><a href="#" class="hidePU">Back</a></span></span></div></div>');
								}

    well it seems it had nothing to do with permalinks.

    the problem was one of the $_POST variables was creating some conflict, maybe it was ‘name’, ’email’ or another one. I just changed all of their names and now it’s working fine.

    posting this just in case someone would come across my post ??

    long live wordpress ?? lol wtf x)

    I ran into a similar problem a few times including today. $_POST data doesn’t get sent on form submission but everything looks good code wise. This was after I used much more complicated POST names to ensure zero problems there. Best I can tell problem for me was simply related to lack of name being assigned to input fields.

    Below snippit bits worked for me. 

    <form action="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="contactForm" method="post">
				<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="yes" />
                    <fieldset id="step_1">

				<legend>Step 1</legend>
				<strong>Please introduce yourself:</strong><br />
				  <ol class="forms">
                        <li>
				<label for="contactName">
					Name-
				</label>
				<input type="text" name="contactName" id="contactName" value="<?php echo (isset($_REQUEST['contactName']) ? $_REQUEST['contactName'] : ''); ?>"></input>

    Posting as I’ve run across problem multiple times before and what to throw some help out to myself and others with similar issues.
