Form data submission to external database

  1. Hi
    I wanted to know what is fastet way to get this integrated.
    I have a normal formal form with few fields like email, firstname,lastname and phone number.
    Now apart from performing a form submit and form mail action once it comes to wp, I need to submit this data to my database for which a tomcat servlet is available which takes in parameters and gets to the db.
    Is there anything already available in gravity to do this or let me know what is available and can be enhanced.

  2. This would require a customization. You would have to either use hooks to store the data elsewhere when the form is submitted (advanced integration experience with Gravity Forms required) or you could use the confirmation redirect to redirect to your own custom handler once the form is submitted and passes the data via the querystring. You then do what you need to do with the data using PHP and handle redirecting to a Thank You page from there.
