Wordpress blank page

Nov 4th, 2009, 10:42 AM

Hey,

I've set up a form in theme templates on wordpress. Everything is working fine until I enter this code:

Code:
<?php

require_once("/leads/global/api/api.php");

$fields = ft_api_init_form_page(1, "initialize");

$params = array(

  "submit_button" => "submit",

  "next_page" => "thank-you",

  "form_data" => $_POST,

  "finalize" => true

    );

ft_api_process_form($params);

?>

<?php 

/*

    Template Name: Lead

*/

I then just get a blank wordpress page. I am displaying errors in wordpress byt no php errors return. I then move this code around the template and I have found out that everything is loading up until this block of code. It then stops and goes blank.

Playing around with the code it seems to be ok with the $params variable but not with any of the rest of the code:

Code:
require_once("leads/global/api/api.php");

$fields = ft_api_init_form_page(1, "initialize");

ft_api_process_form($params);

I thought maybe it was the path to the api.php but I have tried full url and it still doesn't work. The file path is definately correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It turns out this isn't anything to do with wordpress, I have just made a blank page on in my root called test.php with this code but it is still showing a blank page...hmmm

<?php
require_once("/leads/global/api/api.php");
$fields = ft_api_init_form_page(1, "initialize");
$params = array(
"submit_button" => "submit",
"next_page" => "thank-you",
"form_data" => $_POST,
"finalize" => true
);
ft_api_process_form($params);
?>

Hi st8,

Hmmm... getting it going from within Wordpress pages could certainly be problematic; I haven't tested that at all. But you should be able to get the test.php page working fine.

It looks like your require_once() line looks a little fishy. That's using an absolute path from the root - and it looks like you're trying to use the webroot. For including files like that, you'll need either the absolute path (from the actual server root - not the website root - i.e. the entire path to that file), or, more simply, a relative path from that location.

Also, for testing this, add this line at the very top:

PHP Code:
error_reporting(2047);
