how to use cf_id in the sent e-mail?

steve.lozie 17 Jun, 2010
Dears users,

my goal is to create a form that sends an e-mail and saves the data in the database.
the e-mail has to contain the cf_id (or whatever unique number) as they need it later on.

So far:
- I've created and linked the database correctly
- made up the form
- designed the e-mail

but how can I get the cf_id to show up in the mail? It has something to do with the onsubmit code, but I'm a noob when it comes down to php.

Who's willing to help me?

Hi Steve,

You will need to switch OFF your email template, make sure your DB connection runs "BEFORE email", then use a simple line of code to access the saved row data and echo the cf_id value in the email body, this has bee solved here before, please do a quick search and let me know if you can't find it
