Wordpress: Add form that posts to a php script

Question

I just installed wordpress, still getting the hang of it.

Basically, I want to build a form with 5 fields (firstname, lastname, tele,address,zip) that posts to xyz.com/x.php.

I don't see any way to actually do this, but I am quite sure I have seen this on other wordpress sites (I am self hosting).

Ideas or links would be appreciated!

No need for ajax, just a simple form that posts to an external URL — Ryan

Thats not something WordPress does. If you have x.php you can simply create a custom template in your theme with the HTML of the form you'd like.

your aim is gathering all people's that they fill the form in the x.php page? if it is this you can do this: 1- set the form method too post 2- set the action to process.php 3- you can get the values in process.php using> $_POST['input_name']; 4- insert values in MySQL table 5- header to x.php
