You could do one of the following:</p> <p>Pull the latest submission from the database after the form is submitted. So you would use Gravity Forms to redirect to your script page. Your script would grab the latest lead in the database and use that information to determine what it needs to do. </p> <p>You could send all the data via query string by doing redirect, checking the query string check box, and adding the variables you would want to access. </p> <p>You could use our post_submission hook and send data to your script and set it up to send back a response. The data would be sent and returned in the background. </p> <p>You could find a way to create a session on the form, and using one of many hooks, set data into the session variable and be able to pull it back out in your script if you keep the session alive in PHP. </p> <p>Have a look at our hooks here:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Developer_Docs" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Developer_Docs</a></p> <p>Again, specifically the pre_submission post_submission hooks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-field-values-after-form-submission#post-65329 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 08:52:17 +0000 dtgreen 65329@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>I'm looking to calculate a price for the user after the form has been submitted, taking several of the field values to do some math before a price is show on screen.</p> <p>What's the best way to achieve this?</p> <p>To clarify, I want to re-direct the user to a script after the form has been successfully submitted, but the script will need to access all the field data from the submission itself.</p> <p>Will the Entry Object data still be available post-submission? If so, I guess it is just a case of accessing the array and assigning the required fields to my own variables, no?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Dave </p>
