You can store values in a cookie (OR a PHP session, but cookies don't use server resources) and then populate fields from those values. mmtrav on "Store form entries in PHP session, use to populate other forms across site" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/store-form-entries-in-php-session-use-to-populate-other-forms-across-site#post-14354 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 03:52:17 +0000 mmtrav 14354@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ My goodness, did the Similar Topics widget just help me find my answer? <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/little-hint-from-me-save-user-input-in-cookie-and-prepopulate-form" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/little-hint-from-me-save-user-input-in-cookie-and-prepopulate-form</a> mmtrav on "Store form entries in PHP session, use to populate other forms across site" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/store-form-entries-in-php-session-use-to-populate-other-forms-across-site#post-14353 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 03:49:41 +0000 mmtrav 14353@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi guys, I'm a bit new to this but have this burning curiosity to see if I can figure it out. I've been combing the forums but still don't quite know how to approach my issue and exactly what code or hooks I need. I want to collect some basic information in one initial sign-up form, and then let my user wander into various other parts of the site. If they decide they want to fill out another form, I would like their previous entry to pre-populate the other forms. From what I gather, API hooks and PHP are the tools I need. I'm thinking that I need to store the first initial submitted value into a PHP session, and then pre-populate the form using the dynamic fields -- I've already got the hang of making the form fields available to pre-populated from query strings, but I don't know how to do this from PHP. I think with a bit of handholding I can figure this out AND learn how to do it in future at the same time -- I don't really have budget to hire somebody to do it for me, but if there is anybody out there who is willing to train me on this for a fee I'd love to hear from you. Otherwise, could I get some help from you, Carl or Alex or anybody else on the team?
