v4 database connection

hi - I need help with connecting to the database to save the form data with v4. (There is no documentation for this version.) I have added the DB save box to the on On submit Events, selected the db table that i created and kept the other default settings.

I get these error messages:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting ',' or ';' in /usr/www/users/gardef/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/db_save/db_save.php(44) : eval()'d code on line 26

Fatal error: Call to a member function bind() on a non-object in /usr/www/users/gardef/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/db_save/db_save.php on line 67

Hi margie,

I haven't worked this out myself yet but usually the "unexpected '-'" message is a sign that you have a dash '-' in one of your input names. Try replacing that with an underscore '_'. You'll need to change the database column name to match and you'll need to refresh the record that ChronoForms keeps -- I have no idea how to do that in CFv4 though :-(

Hi,

Changing the field name and rebuilding the table will be enough, the class code is regenerated every time the form is loaded.

Fantastic - all fixed.thanks
now is there any work-around for no backup to CSV?!

Hi margie,

For the moment, and as a workaround, PHP MyAdmin will always let you back up a table to CSV
