updating hidden fields using gform_after_submission hook - geocoding

    Hey guys,

    I have been reading this:

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/editing-updating-field-value-after-submission

    and want to use for the following geocoding on the fly after submission:

    // gforms hook for form_#
    add_action("gform_after_submission_2", "pre_submission_handler");
    function pre_submission_handler($entry){
    
        // pass the entries relating to the address parts from form
        $query_string = $entry['21'] . "+" . $entry['22'] . "+" . $entry['23'];
        $coords = getLatLong($query_string);
    
        update_post_meta($entry['post_id'], 'lat', $coords['_wp_geo_latitude']);
        update_post_meta($entry['post_id'], 'lng', $coords['_wp_geo_longitude']);
    
    }
    
    // function to take address and turn it into coordinates lat and lng
    function getLatLong($code){
    
        $mapsApiKey = '(REMOVED FROM POST ONLY)';
        $query = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=".urlencode($code)."&output=json&key=".$mapsApiKey;
    
        // This takes your full street address to create the lat/long
        $data = file_get_contents($query);
    
        // if data returned
        if($data){
            // convert into readable format
            $data = json_decode($data);
            $long = $data->Placemark[0]->Point->coordinates[0];
            $lat = $data->Placemark[0]->Point->coordinates[1];
            return array('Latitude'=>$lat,'Longitude'=>$long);
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

    Except all I need to do is save the geocoded coordinates in 2 hidden gform fields in same form for output later. I believe this example is for saving to post meta instead of the form entry. Any help appreciated thanks.
