Neither "date" nor "confirm email" fields are pre-populating

Hi all,

I'm implementing the methods described here: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/little-hint-from-me-save-user-input-in-cookie-and-prepopulate-form

Anyway, I can't get my date selector to pre-populate from the cookie. Perhaps because it's a date picker (drop-down day, month, year) and the following that I'm using might be wrong:

add_filter("gform_field_value_date", "populate_date");
function populate_date() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_date"];
}

Also, I'm using the following for the email. It works, but it only fills in the initial email entry, it leaves the confirm field empty:

add_filter("gform_field_value_email", "populate_email");
function populate_email() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_email"];
}

Help is greatly appreciated,
James

.... I used backticks (`) but it didn't work

Cool thanks :)

One more thing...

When I type in something like, Pak 'n Save, it will be repopulated via cookies as Pak \\\'n Save.

Any idea how I can correct this? It will be a real nuisance when collating data.

Hi Alex,

I used it like this:

add_filter("gform_field_value_name", "populate_name");
function populate_name() {
	return stripslashes($_COOKIE["gf_name"]);
}

... and it removed one slash. So the result was: Pak \'n Save

The issue on my second to last message was due to Magic Quotes. Disabled them, and now things are looking brighter.
