Save formdata into a DB table

thewelt 20 Jul, 2023
Hi,

I try to safe the formdata to a DB table.
Later, I need te read the data again into the form. The data has to be prefilled into the form when the same users opens the form.
Is there a way to doe so?

Thank you,

Hi Bart,

Do you have the database table to save the data to ?

Hi Max,

I made a table via phpmyadmin with user_id as primary key and several other columns.
The thing is that when I make a record in the table (via phpmyadmin), the data is read and updated, but when I don't have a record prefilled, no data is saved.

Did you try the new v8 ? it's generally easier to setup, and has a Save Data and Read Data actions

Hi Max,

I think I got it working in V7 (I hope).

I'll try to explain what I want to achieve exactly::
First: An applicant leaves his personal details and his employment status in a form. He does this after logging in to the website. On a subsequent visit, he will see the previously entered information, which he can adjust if necessary. So I got this working... I hope.
Second: An administrator can draw a list of all information entered by all applicants. He can sort and filter this list.
Is this possible in V7 and if so ... how does this work. Are manuals or tutorials available?

Or is this all possible in V8 as well?
And if so, are there guides or tutorials available here?

Thanks,
Bart
