Custom Form in WordPress Page Won't Submit/Refresh

I had a normal site that I built with custom HTML/CSS/JS. I changed the site to become a WordPress site (and made my custom html/css/js into a custom WordPress theme). I had a contact form on the homepage of the site, which broke when I made the change to WordPress.
When the form was functioning, it would refresh the page and bring the user back down to the form (using the anchor id=contactphilly) and then the user would see a message confirming their email was sent.
I did a LOT of Googling and I think it has something to do with the "action" option in the form, but no matter what I try changing it to, it doesn't work. I tried the following for the action value:
<?php the_permalink(); ?>/#contactphilly
#contactphilly
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
None of them worked.
Here is the code for the form:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'WebKeep.com';
$to = 'info#webkeepteam.com';
$subjectemail = 'Message from WebKeepTeam.com Contact Form ';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Subject: $subject\n Message:\n $message";
// Check if name has been entered
if (!$_POST['name']) {
$errName = 'Please enter your name';
}
// Check if email has been entered and is valid
if (!$_POST['email'] || !filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$errEmail = 'Please enter a valid email address';
}
//Check if message has been entered
if (!$_POST['message']) {
$errMessage = 'Please enter your message';
}
// If there are no errors, send the email
if (!$errName && !$errEmail && !$errMessage) {
if (mail ($to, $subjectemail, $body, $from)) {
$result='<div>Thank You! We will respond shortly.</div>';
} else {
$result='<div>Sorry there was an error sending your message. Please try again later</div>';
}
}
}
?>
and
<form name="contactform" method="post" action="#contactphilly">
<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<fieldset class="form-group">
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $name;?>" class="form-control transparent-input" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name">
</fieldset>
<?php echo "<p class='text-danger'>$errName</p>";?>
<fieldset class="form-group">
<input type="email" value="<?php echo $email;?>" class="form-control transparent-input" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
</fieldset>
<?php echo "<p class='text-danger'>$errEmail</p>";?>
<fieldset class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control transparent-input" value="<?php echo $subject;?>" id="subject" name="subject" placeholder="Subject">
</fieldset>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<fieldset class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control transparent-input" id="message" value="<?php echo $message;?>" name="message" rows="6" placeholder="Message"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']);?></textarea>
</fieldset>
<?php echo "<p class='text-danger'>$errMessage</p>";?>
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="Send" class="btn btn-index pull-right">
</div>
<?php echo $result; ?>
</form>

I found an answer to my own question! I completely forgot about this bit of code on GitHub: https://github.com/dwyl/html-form-send-email-via-google-script-without-server I used it elsewhere on the site and it worked, and it also works beautifully for forms within pages too!

Need to process a contact form

I purchased a theme, and I need to make a processing.php for my contact form. The form that sends the data to the server for processing.
This is the form code:
<div class="form_error text-center">
<div class="name_error hide error">Please Enter your name</div>
<div class="email_error hide error">Please Enter your Email</div>
<div class="email_val_error hide error">Please Enter a Valid Email Address</div>
<div class="message_error hide error">Please Enter Your Message</div>
</div>
<div class="Sucess"></div>
<form role="form">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Name">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Email">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="subject" placeholder="Subject">
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<textarea class="form-control" id="message" rows="25" cols="10" placeholder=" Message Texts..."></textarea>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default submit-btn form_submit">SEND MESSAGE</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

Both shubham and adi's answers are vulnerable to SMTP header injections, allowing your contact form to be used to send spam. It will happen.
Any POST or GET data passed to the additional_headers parameter needs to be sanitised to prevent abuse.
See the following:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
https://www.phpsecure.info/v2/article/MailHeadersInject.en.php

see this example
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "email#example.com"; // this is your Email address
$from = $_POST['email']; // this is the sender's Email address
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$subject = "Form submission";
$subject2 = "Copy of your form submission";
$message = $first_name . " " . $last_name . " wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$message2 = "Here is a copy of your message " . $first_name . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$headers2 = "From:" . $to;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
mail($from,$subject2,$message2,$headers2); // sends a copy of the message to the sender
echo "Mail Sent. Thank you " . $first_name . ", we will contact you shortly.";
// You can also use header('Location: thank_you.php'); to redirect to another page.
}
?>

This is the mail script which sends me the email
<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "**MYEMAIL**";
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$fname = check_input($_POST['fname'], "Enter your first name");
$lname = check_input($_POST['lname'], "Enter your last name");
$email = check_input($_POST['email']);
$phone = check_input($_POST['phone']);
$resort = check_input($_POST['resort']);
$amount = check_input($_POST['amount']);
$call = check_input($_POST['call']);
/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\#[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}
/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */
if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $website))
{
$website = '';
}
/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$message = "Hello!
Your contact form has been submitted by:
First Name : $fname
Last Name : $lname
E-mail: $email
Phone : $phone
Resort: $resort
Amount: $amount
Call : $call
End of message
";
/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $message);
/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location: index.html');
exit();
/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
if (strtolower($_POST['code']) != 'mycode') {die('Wrong access code');}
<html>
<body>
<b>Please correct the following error:</b><br />
<?php echo $myError; ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
exit();
}
?>
Here is the online url of the page http://timesharesgroup.com/sell/index.html

you can add this code to your script after all the validation is done:
$text = "$fname\n$lname\n$email\n$phone\n$resort\n$amount\n$call\n\n";
file_put_contents('file.txt', $text, FILE_APPEND);
OR even better csv file:
$fields = array($fname,$lname,$email,$phone,$resort,$amount,$call);
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'a');
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
fclose($fp);

How to get a msgbox?

I am creating a simple enquiry form with upload option.
If I click submit button it goes to another page and displays success message but it should come in the same page as a message box. What should I do?
Here is my Html code:
<ul>
<li><span>Name</span>
<input name="name" type="text" size="25" class="text1" />
</li>
<li><span>Contact</span>
<input name="contact" type="text" size="25" class="text2" />
</li>
<li><span>E-mail</span>
<input name="email" type="text" size="25" class="text3" />
</li>
<li><span>Subject</span>
<input name="subject" type="text" size="25" class="text4" />
</li>
<li><span>Message</span>
<textarea name="message" size="250" class="text5"></textarea>
</li>
</ul>
<label for="upload"></label>
<div class="x">
<input type="file" name="upload" id="file" class="button">
</div>
<div class="x1">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="button" />
</div>
And this is my PHP code for uploading and inserting:
<?php
$target = "upload/";
$target = $target . basename($_FILES['upload']['name']);
$ok = 1;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], $target))
{
echo "The file " . basename($_FILES['upload']['name']) . " has been uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>
<?php
include ("conn.php");
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$sql="insert into cform (name,contact,email,subject,message,upload)values('".$_POST['name']."','".$_POST['contact']."','".$_ POST['email']."','".$_POST['subject']."','".$_POST['message']."','$target')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result)
{
echo "could not enter data";
}
else
{
echo "successfuly entered";
}
}
?>
This PHP page has to run in background and when I click the submit button a message box should display success.

Edit the echo portion of the page as
second page
$rspnse = "";
if(!$result){
$rspnse = "Error";
}
else{
$rspnse = "Success";
}
header('Location: previous_page.php?response='.$rspnse);
Replace the previous_page.php with your original url of the first page
first page
<?php
if(isset($_GET['response'])){
?>
<script>
alert('<?php echo $_GET['response'] ?>');
</script>
<?php
}
?>
Hope this helps...

if(! $result) {
$msg = "could not enter data";
}else{
$msg = "successfuly entered";
}
header('Location: http://www.example.com/form.php?message=$msg');
//Redirect to form page with set message.
add script in form page to display message
if(isset($_GET['message'])){
print $_GET['message'];
}
This solution for as per your code
And another option is using ajax.
