Gather data from Gravity Forms, send the data to perl-script for calculation

  1. I have an old form for a questionnaire that I was going to transform to Gravity Forms. Since the mathematics function is not implemented yet, I was planning to use my old Perl script for the calculation of the total score and result presentation. Is it possible to use "post" and "action" with the data gathered in Gravity Forms?

    You can't use Post, but you can use a query string and get. What do you mean about the "action" part of your question? I would have to know more about what you are planning to be able to really advise though.

    Of course calculations do work in the beta that is out and people are having success with it:

  4. This is how it looks now:

    <form name="myform2" method="post" action="script-to-calculate.php" ... >

    But when I think about it, maybe I could use the php script directly on a wordpress page and let Gravity Forms to send the data to that?

    There are definitely multiple ways to get a result from data entered on a Gravity Forms form. Again, more detail about what you are trying to do would help me point you in the right directions.

  6. Thank you, but I think I'll wait since the beta can deal with mathematical formulas.

    The beta will be released as a full version, most likely early in the next week.
