How to populate a form dynamically

    Hi,

    I've referred to http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population

    I've a form on a page to which variables are being submitted

    If I use phpinfo I see a PHP POST variable of:

    _POST["state"] Oregon

    Exactly what would I put in the field after checking "Allow field to be populated dynamically" please?

    I'm not a programmer just trying to hack a form together here and need additional help/example

    Thank you

    The dynamic population would only work with a get variable. So if you were sending the value in a string in the URL like:

    http:site.com/form/?state=Oregon

    Then in the Parameter for the field you want the state to appear in would be state. To do it with POST variables, you would need to know PHP well enough to figure out how to use our hooks system, specifically:

    All my best!
