What is happening is that behind the scenes, WordPress is now sending that data to your other page, and waiting for that page to send a response. </p> <p>You are expecting it to work like a normal POST call, like if you had changed where the form submits to, but that's not how this works. </p> <p>That is why you were receiving data back sometimes before in your previous attempt because where you were submitting the data was receiving it, and sending a result back. Now, you are sending to another page, and it probably won't receive a response back. </p> <p>Did you read through the article I posted earlier?<br /> <a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/2009/08/how-to-make-http-requests-with-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://planetozh.com/blog/2009/08/how-to-make-http-requests-with-wordpress/</a></p> <p>Some people call this using an API. You send an external site or service some data, and they send back details so that you can then use it or whatnot. </p> <p>So when you had</p> <blockquote><p> Sometimes I can catch this:<br /> Array ( [chargetotal] =&gt; 32 [mode] =&gt; Fullpay [storename] =&gt; 1001294132 [txntype] =&gt; sale )<br /> but I don't know what to do with it :) </p></blockquote> <p>You were sending data to the service, and those were the details it sent back to you. </p> <p>You could then echo out a message to users letting them know that things worked, or you can ignore this response because things are working. Either way, this was working how it is intended. </p> <p>Users will not be redirected anywhere, values will not show up on another page. The function you are working with sends data behind the scenes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/help-with-gform_after_submission#post-64762 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 12:56:06 +0000 callibeth 64762@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, I've simplified this a bunch. No more redirect, just a straight form submitted to another page on the site. I'll submit to the payment gateway from there. I have the following code to gather the post variables:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission&#39;, &#39;post_to_third_party&#39;, 10, 2); function post_to_third_party($entry, $form) { $post_url = &#39;another-page-on-the-site&#39;; $body = array( &#39;first_name&#39; =&gt; $entry[&#39;1.3&#39;], &#39;last_name&#39; =&gt; $entry[&#39;1.6&#39;], &#39;chargetotal&#39; =&gt; $entry[&#39;5&#39;], &#39;test&#39; =&gt; &#39;test&#39;, ); if( !class_exists( &#39;WP_Http&#39; ) ) include_once( ABSPATH . WPINC. &#39;/class-http.php&#39; ); $request = new WP_Http(); $result = $request-&gt;post($post_url, array(&#39;body&#39; =&gt; $body)); }</code></pre> <p>This line on the receiving page<br /> <code>var_dump($result[&#39;response&#39;]);</code><br /> results in a NULL<br /> and none of the $body variables prints, not even the hard-coded test variable.</p> <p>Any idea why the function is not working? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/help-with-gform_after_submission#post-64671 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 22:57:37 +0000 callibeth 64671@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here's the problem as I see it: I need to submit the main registration form to a redirect page which then sends the form to either a financial aid form or the payment gateway. I can't use GET variables because I need to specify the URLs on the redirect page. So I need to pass POST variables. That seems to mean that I need to use the gform_after_submission post_to_third_party function in the Documentation here:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a><br /> But I can't get the $body array variables to pass.</p> <p>On my test site, I've tried ditching the redirect page and submitting the form to a page on my own test site where I can ask for variables and check whether they're coming through. But they're not. Adding<br /> print_r ($result['response']);<br /> to the function results in nothing.</p> <p>A GET variable comes through okay, but that doesn't work for a redirect page, as detailed above. </p> <p>Sometimes I can catch this:<br /> Array ( [chargetotal] =&gt; 32 [mode] =&gt; Fullpay [storename] =&gt; 1001294132 [txntype] =&gt; sale )<br /> but I don't know what to do with it :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/help-with-gform_after_submission#post-64624 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 17:56:31 +0000 David Peralty 64624@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Have you checked with linkpointcentral to see if they are getting any data? Have you tried printing out the $result['response'] to see if things worked okay? Do they have an API that allows a response code through this method? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/help-with-gform_after_submission#post-64579 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 13:26:45 +0000 callibeth 64579@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, I've figured out why #gf_2 was appended to the URL -- it's because I was testing from the Form Preview instead of from the page that the form is on. Duh.</p> <p>But testing from the form on the published page still results in no post variables being passed, as far as I can tell. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/help-with-gform_after_submission#post-64549 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 11:28:22 +0000 callibeth 64549@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a form which submits to a redirect page. Based on a yes/no answer in a radio choice field ("Are you in need of financial aid?", the form is redirected either to a financial aid application or the payment gateway ( <a href="https://www.linkpointcentral.com/lpc/servlet/lppay" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkpointcentral.com/lpc/servlet/lppay</a> ). I've set up the gform_after_submission post_to_third_party function to post to that same URL.
