It would be awesome if the gravity forms core team could provide the most basic of examples of how to accomplish this.</p> <p>I am using the Gravity Forms User Registration addon to register visitors to my blog (this form captures first/last name, username, password and email). I am simply trying to capture the $_POST values of their entry and store them in a second database for other uses outside of wordpress.</p> <p>I know that I need to place the following in my functions.php file:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_post_submission&#39;, &#39;do_something&#39;); function do_something($entry){ //Do something code }</code></pre> <p>I know I need to capture the data AFTER it has been scrubbed through the forms validation function. I have looked at <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object</a> From what I understand the $entry["1"]; returns the second item within the $entry[]; associative array. I am assuming that $entry[ ] is akin to $_POST[ ]</p> <p>I just think a simple example of how to pull this information using the GravityForms API would be so very helpful to so many developers. </p>
