As you see in the code below, I am iring the action (gform_post_submission) after the action (bp_artwork_submit_content) that actually submits the form.</p> <pre><code>function bp_artwork_submit() { global $bp; do_action( &#39;bp_artwork_submit&#39; ); add_action( &#39;bp_template_title&#39;, &#39;bp_artwork_submit_title&#39; ); add_action( &#39;bp_template_content&#39;, &#39;bp_artwork_submit_content&#39; ); add_action(&#39;gform_post_submission&#39;, &#39;get_post_submit_info_to_activity&#39;, 10, 2); bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( &#39;bp_core_template_plugin&#39;, &#39;members/single/plugins&#39; ) ); }</code></pre> <p>The PHP code itself that should get the object is:</p> <pre><code>function get_post_submit_info_to_activity($entry, $form){ global $bp, $entry; //getting post $post_submit_info = array( &#39;action&#39; =&gt; &#39;submitted an artwork&#39;, &#39;type&#39; =&gt; &#39;artwork_submission&#39;, &#39;user_id&#39; =&gt; $bp-&gt;loggedin_user-&gt;id, ); bp_artwork_record_activity($post_submit_info); }</code></pre> <p>The problem is that I can not get any values out of the $entry array. Can this be related to the redirection after posting the form? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/run-php-code-upon-sumbission#post-22782 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 11:27:02 +0000 Carl Hancock 22782@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can't call a PHP file the way you are probably thinking you'd like to do it. You have to use a Gravity Forms API hook to then execute your custom PHP and do whatever you want with the form data. This custom PHP would go in your themes functions.php file.</p> <p>You would use the gform_post_submission hook which has access to the entry object containing the form data. You'd use this hook to execute your custom PHP to do whatever you want to do with the data.</p> <p>Here is a forum posts that discusses this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/sms-api-gateway-need-help-to-get-gform-to-integrate#post-18087" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/sms-api-gateway-need-help-to-get-gform-to-integrate#post-18087</a></p> <p>The gform_post_submission hook is also documented in the Documentation in the Developer Docs area. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/run-php-code-upon-sumbission#post-22750 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:01:37 +0000 jn19 22750@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I need to know how to call a php file when the user clicks submit on a form. In this case the form is simply an email address field. I want to add the email address to a database automatically. I have the php code to do this, but I don't know how to get the submit button to call it. </p>
