gform_pre_submission accessing field values

  1. I have a hook here which works great (it looks for a field with the parameter name zip, and sets a hidden field based on the zip value):

    [php]
    add_action("gform_pre_submission", "set_email_notification_flag", 10, 2);
    
    function set_email_notification_flag($form){
    
    	//search for zip label and notification flag
    	$formfieldzip="";
    	$formfieldnotificationflag="";
    	foreach($form['fields'] as $k=>$v)
    	{
    		if($form['fields'][$k]['inputName']== "zipcode") $formfieldzip= "input_". $form['fields'][$k]['id'];
    		if($form['fields'][$k]['inputName']== "emailnotification") $formfieldnotificationflag= "input_". $form['fields'][$k]['id'];
    	}
    
        if ( ($formfieldzip!="")&&($formfieldnotificationflag!="")) {
    				$zipcode = $_POST[$formfieldzip];
    				$_POST[$formfieldnotificationflag]=zipcodearea($zipcode);
    	}
    }

    Now I have another hook for a specific form. This time I am trying to access the zipcode field of the address type advanced field.

    [php]
    add_action("gform_pre_submission_14", "set_email_notification_flag_14", 10, 2);
    //specific email notification form 14
    function set_email_notification_flag_14($form){
    	$formfieldzip="input_19.5";
    	$formfieldnotificationflag="input_25";
       	$zipcode = $_POST[$formfieldzip];
    	$_POST[$formfieldnotificationflag]=zipcodearea($zipcode);			
    
    }

    I find that I cannot access the zipcode value (the variable is empty). The same holds for all the sub fields of any of the advanced field types. I cannot lay a finger on what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

  2. I believe this input_19.5 should be input_19_5. Please dump the $_POST in your pre_submission filter and take a look at the exact format of the inputs. But input_19.5 looks incorrect to me, right off the bat.
