You could just access $_POST directly, but rgpost strips slashes. You could also use RGForms::post. The preferred method is rgpost. All 3 methods will get you the same value.</p> <p>Were you able to successfully modify your subject line? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notification-modification-in-gform_pre_submission#post-93786 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:56:38 +0000 flauntbooks 93786@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Very helpful. Thank you. I searched the documentation but didn't find anything on rgpost(). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notification-modification-in-gform_pre_submission#post-93758 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:41:26 +0000 Chris Hajer 93758@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, you can access all the $_POST values in the gform_pre_submission or gform_pre_submission_filter. The <strong>rgpost</strong> function just sanitizes the values a little bit so you're not directly reading the $_POST. Here is a simple example:</p> <pre><code>[php] &lt;?php // change the 14 here to your form ID add_filter(&#39;gform_pre_submission_filter_14&#39;, &#39;change_notification_subject&#39;); function change_notification_subject($form){ // grab the first and last name, parts of field 1 $fname = rgpost(&#39;input_1_3&#39;); $lname = rgpost(&#39;input_1_6&#39;); // modify the subject line of the user notification $form[&#39;autoResponder&#39;][&#39;subject&#39;] = &quot;$fname $lname: Today is your lucky day!&quot;; // return modified form return $form; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/notification-modification-in-gform_pre_submission#post-93693 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:56:58 +0000 flauntbooks 93693@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I noticed the gform_pre_submission hook includes the $form OBJECT but not the $entry OBJECT.</p> <p>I'm attempting to change the subject line of the notification email based upon selections in the user's entry. Is there a way to access the $_POST or rgpost or $entry object from within gform_pre_submission?</p> <p>I've seen rgpost('input_#') a couple of places on the site and I was wondering if that was a function for retrieving the entry of an input.</p> <p>Thanks for your help. </p>
