It was some quick and dirty rudimentary logging I set up a couple times, but it seems to work OK for debugging and getting at the exact format of the $form and $entry objects. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/working-with-form-object-and-entry-object#post-123633 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:44:52 +0000 ajmorris 123633@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK great! That helps much easier than what I was doing! I'll see how far I can get now! :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/working-with-form-object-and-entry-object#post-122694 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:38:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 122694@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've never gotten that complex. I just do this, which works for me:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php // this will work for form 150 add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_150&#39;, &#39;dump_variables&#39;, 10, 2); // generic logging function function dump_variables($entry, $form) { $logfile = &#39;/var/www/htdocs/gravity/gravity_log.txt&#39;; $fh = fopen($logfile, &#39;a&#39;); $ebody = &quot;FORM:\n&quot; . print_r($form, TRUE); $ebody .= &quot;\n\nENTRY:\n&quot; . print_r($entry, TRUE); $ebody .= &quot;\n\nPOST:\n&quot; . print_r($_POST, TRUE); fwrite($fh, $ebody); fclose($fh); }</code></pre> <p>I called it $ebody at one point because I was emailing the data to myself. I just log it now. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/working-with-form-object-and-entry-object#post-122686 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:31:28 +0000 ajmorris 122686@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here's what I've got going for a function right now, <a href="https://gist.github.com/4541295" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/4541295</a>.

How are you using them? I usually use print_r($entry) or print_r($form) in a gform_after_submission hook, to see what they contain. I normally write that information to a log file and then check that. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/working-with-form-object-and-entry-object#post-122623 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:46:56 +0000 ajmorris 122623@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How can I see what the $form object and $entry object look like? I'd like to output them so I can figure out what I need to do to readjust them to work with an API. My thought was to just stub them out for the function, so I'm not having to fill out a form every time I want to test it, but I can't seem to get them to work. I've tried var_dump(), print_r(), echo, etc and can't get the objects. Can someone provide me with what I would have for each $form and $entry. Thanks! </p>
