Why my contact form is going to a different page?

[ghafirsayed]

Hi , I m creating a website on wordpress, and I didn’t want to use a plugin for contact us so I thought I should create my own. But I m having a problem. When you fill the form it is going to a different page even though action=”” however if the form is empty is lands up to the same page and also send a blank email.
But why is it going to a different page when I enter information in the form.

http://mstoicthemes.com/duchi/

And here is the code

if(isset($_POST)){

$name= $_POST;
$email= $_POST;
$subject= $_POST;
$comments= $_POST;

$emailTo = ‘[email protected]’;
$subject = $name.’ sent you this message from your website.’;
$body = “Name: $name: $email: $comments”;
$headers = ‘From: My Site <'.$emailTo.'>‘ . “rn” . ‘Reply-To: ‘ . $email;

$mailsent = mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

if($mailsent){
echo “

Thank you contacting us

We will get back to you soon

“;
}else{
echo “Your Email was not sent”;
}

}else{
?>

else part

Name:
Email:
Subject:

I tried the same code outside of wordpress and it works, but its not working in wordpress dont know why I tried # in action but no luck
I also tried in action, But when I use in action , it comes back to the same page, but it does not go to the if condition, To check I just echo “test”; but it didnt echo anything meaning its not even going inside my if condition ):

Do both blank and filled in form emails get send? I just tried both…. sorry for the spam :P

I think that 301 redirect might be the problem… form action gets printed as `http://mstoicthemes.com/duchi`, however that causes a redirect to `http://mstoicthemes.com/duchi/` (losing the form data).

Thanks for trying but what do I do? I still can’t find a way. I can stop that redirect, I will put
in action, so now it would come back to the same page but its not going into the if condition.

I also tried this code outside wordpress, it was working there but inside it was not working. I still don’t know what’s happening there. I think you need to discuss this with certified [Wordpress developer](http://techiesindiainc.com/wordpress “WordPress developer”).
