How To Populate Input With Form Data

  1. I have a form where people enter some stuff. Then on submission it takes them to a forum page with a separate field on the page (not a gravity form generated field.)

    I want to "grab" the input from one of the fields on my gravity form and then have it populate that field on the next page.

    Here's what I have most recently...

    $resource_url = null;
    add_action('gform_after_submission_7', 'resource_submission_handler', 10, 2);
    function resource_submission_handler($entry, $form){
    	$GLOBALS['resource_url'] = $entry['30'];
    }

    Then I have this on my other page — the one I want to populate...

    <input type="text" value="<?php echo $GLOBALS['resource_url']; ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" name="resource_url" id="resource_url"/>

    If I change "null" to something it will put that something in. But I can't get it to update based on the input of the gravity form.

    Here's hoping some weekend warriors will help out! ;)

  2. Can you dump the $GLOBALS array in your bbPress template page and see what it contains? My knowledge of the $GLOBALS variable is not strong, but I don't think you can populate it like that. I thought it would be more like this:

    $resource_url = $entry['30'];

    And then you retrieve it in the same way.

  3. Thanks Chris!

    I figured it out actually using PHP session variables. It let me do a bit "more" than I had expected to do with it.

    I will post the code later — i.e. after I've slept.

  4. Glad you were able to resolve that using a PHP session. Thanks for the update. I'll leave this open until you post your code.
