How to get global variable via php?

tempus 19 Feb, 2022
Hi!

Thanks for great component, using it for about 10 years. And please explain

If I'm trying to get global var, I'm writing {global:var_name}

But if I need to get global variable value by php code, how to write?

It is no explanation here https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/74-chronoforms/chronoforms6/5289-variable-shortcodes

Thanks

Hi Tempus,

Please try turning the Debugger on - you should then see all the variables with their names and values.

Thanks, but it didn't help. Somehow global vars never show up in the Debugger.
I am taking their names from admin site of the CF7.

I've tried different php codes to get global var value, but I can not guess the right one

The question is: How to access global variables in php?

I've set up some global vars on "Form" level and need to access them inside a custom code with php.
Like https://www.chronoengine.com/users/profile/86267 "I've tried different php codes to get global var value, but I can not guess the right one"

It's about clientId & clientSecret which i need to reuse in different custom code actions.

generally any variables set with
$this->set("varname", value);
are available with
$this->get("varname");

Hey,

i'm talking about:
Joomla Backend => Chronoforms 7 => Upper Menu "Settings" => "Settings Manager" => Global Vars.

How can i access the values?
$this->get("varname");
where "varname" is the name of the variable doesn't work...

{global:varname}

you can not use that in PHP, unless you set them through a variables action
