This is an amazing thread! The best, most specific descriptions of form handling fundamentals. However, I’m not as smart, or experienced as either of you in this, so I have two questions, if you have the time.
1) gshell – you mentioned “I still can not get it to work. Here is what I’ve done:
I created a new page in WP called action_php.php.”
Did you mean a file? and if so, where did you put it?
I understand that you added the template php file, and added code to the functions.php, but I don’t know what was in the action_php.php file, or where you would have put it. Am I missing something?
2) If I’m understanding the organization of elements correctly (and that’s a big “if”), you wouldn’t even need the action command to point to a different URL. It could have been left as action=”” and whatever code was in the mysterious action_php.php could have been added to the template – yes?
If you’re tired of talking about it, I understand. Either way I got so much out of this. Thanks again!
