It seems if the 2nd field in my form contained "Zebra Print Bikini", I would I need to do something like this:<br /> <pre><code>$newVariable = str_replace(&quot; &quot;, &quot;-&quot;, input_2); $newnewVariable = strtolower($newVariable)</code></pre> <p>In Gravity Forms I think I need to use gform_pre_submission. If the hidden field I want to place the new variable in is the first field in my form, I think I'd need to do something like this:<br /> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_pre_submission&quot;, &quot;pre_submission_handler&quot;); function pre_submission_handler($form){ $newVariable = str_replace(&quot; &quot;, &quot;-&quot;, input_2); $newnewVariable = strtolower($newVariable) $_POST[&quot;input_1&quot;] = $newnewVariable; }</code></pre> <p>And, this goes in my bp_custom.php since I'm using BuddyPress?</p> <p>Of course, I tried this and it didn't work so I'm asking for assistance. Appreciate it! </p>
