String length and e-mail template

Compare a form field value in a ChronoForms email template.

Overview

The issue occurs when using placeholder syntax like {profil} directly in PHP code, which is not interpreted correctly.
Instead of the placeholder, access the form data array directly using the correct PHP variable structure to perform the comparison.

Hi,

I'd like to make a PHP condition in my email template but the string length is strange...

<?php
var_dump('atelier');
// string(7) "atelier" : OK

var_dump('{profil}');
// string(8) "atelier" : strange!

var_dump('{profil}' == 'atelier');
// bool(false)
?>

What can I do ?

Hi nag,

Sorry, I have no idea what your question is ;-(

What exactly are you trying to do?

Sorry, my question wasn't clear enough.

Here's a test:

<?php
if ('{profil}' == 'atelier') {
  echo 'yes';
} else {
  echo 'no';
}
?>

This code displays "no". I want it to display "yes".

Hi nag,

The {profile} syntax won't work in PHP, please try

if ( $form->data['profile'] == 'atelier' ) {
