• I have created a WordPress page and added html form fields, to send data via POST to a simple php script, which would then mail me the feedback left by visitors on the form. For now, the script and form work.

    However I would like to have the current wordpress theme loaded for the php file which parses user data and informs the visitor that form has been submitted correctly.

    The code of the php parser form is:

    <?php
    
    if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
    
        // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
        $email_to = "myemail@domain.tld";
        $email_subject = "Someone has submitted feedback on your website";
    
        function died($error) {
            // your error code can go here
            echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
            echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
            echo $error."<br /><br />";
            echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
            die();
        }
    
        // validation expected data exists
        if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
            !isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
            !isset($_POST['email']) ||
            !isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
            !isset($_POST['comments'])) {
            died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
        }
    
        $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required
        $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required
        $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
        $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
        $comments = $_POST['comments']; // required
    
        $error_message = "";
        $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
      if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
        $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
      }
        $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
      if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
        $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
      }
      if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
        $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
      }
      if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
        $error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
      }
      if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
        died($error_message);
      }
        $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
    
        function clean_string($string) {
          $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
          return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
        }
    
        $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
        $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
        $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
        $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
        $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
    
    // create email headers
    
    $headers = 'From: '.'server@droidzone.in'."\r\n".
    'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
    ?>
    
    Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.
    
    <?php
    
    }
    
    ?>

    In other words, I need to convert my simple page shown to visitors, into a page with the same theme as that of the whole blog.

    Could someone point out the way for learning more about how to do this?
