That got me the rest of the way. Hats off for auto-incrementing the file upload name if it already existed. I was going to write something to handle that.

Something like this: <pre><code>[php] $sql='INSERT INTO user_items (user, item) VALUES (' . $entry['created_by'] .','. $entry['2']. ')';</code></pre> Line 38 probably corresponds to line 13 as you pasted it here. Here's the nitty gritty on why that needs to be: <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.parsing" rel="nofollow">http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.parsing</a> malnack on "Post Submission Trouble With Theme" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-submission-trouble-with-theme#post-33016 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 10:00:18 +0000 malnack 33016@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ In my functions.php, this code executes successfully (I've hidden my database info): <pre><code>add_action("gform_post_submission_1", "set_post_content", 10, 2); function set_post_content($entry, $form){ define("HOSTNAME","*****"); define("USERNAME","*****"); define("PASSWORD","*****"); define("DATABASE","*****"); $con = mysql_connect(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "do"; $sql="INSERT INTO user_items (user, item) VALUES ('1', '2')"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_close($con);}</code></pre> The form executes, my data gets entered, and my "do" is written to the form as expected. If I change the code to this: <pre><code>add_action("gform_post_submission_1", "set_post_content", 10, 2); function set_post_content($entry, $form){ define("HOSTNAME","*****"); define("USERNAME","*****"); define("PASSWORD","*****"); define("DATABASE","*****"); $con = mysql_connect(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "do"; $sql="INSERT INTO user_items (user, item) VALUES ($entry['created_by'], $entry['2'])"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_close($con);}</code></pre> I get this error or a variation of it: <blockquote>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/content/63/6744963/html/wp-content/themes/CeCe3/functions.php on line 38</blockquote> The line number of the error generaly doesn't point to anything meaningful. Let me know if you need more info.

And can you share the error with us in its entirety? It will help with debugging. Thanks. malnack on "Post Submission Trouble With Theme" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-submission-trouble-with-theme#post-32939 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:01:04 +0000 malnack 32939@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I don't think that is the issue. When I try to use any of the $entry values in my code, I get an error. I've tried to simplify it but it looks like when I reference the $entry, it blows out. At the moment I'm just trying to insert either the user $entry['created_by'] and/or a hidden form value $entry['1'] which would return the user name. Both of these values are to go into my custom table. Any thoughts?

So your code worked WITH Exec PHP activated but doesn't without it? malnack on "Post Submission Trouble With Theme" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-submission-trouble-with-theme#post-32910 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:58:40 +0000 malnack 32910@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ One thing to note: Not sure it is related but part of my WP site uses Exec PHP. As part of my troubleshooting I had disabled it. Problem still existed and then I re-enabled it and my code started working. malnack on "Post Submission Trouble With Theme" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-submission-trouble-with-theme#post-32906 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:37:20 +0000 malnack 32906@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Looks like I got beyond that issue.

I thought it might be a conflict with the theme itself, but I've switched to a simple theme and am encountering a similar problem. I've created a single Gravity Form and when I add this to my functions.php: <pre><code>add_action("gform_post_submission_1", "set_post_content", 10, 2); function set_post_content($entry, $form){ //do nothing }</code></pre> I get an error. I've tried moving it around in the functions.php file to no avail. Is there a full example of a functions.php file that I can examine? I'm using WP version 3.2.1 and GF 1.5.2.8. Thanks, Brent
