Maybe this is to basic of a question, but I'm trying to send form data to mysql database and display a confirmation page with the entered data.

Any help is appreciated.

p.s. the component seems easy to use, but i dont have any clue as to what goes in each of the field on the backend for each form.

Hi Upcsadmin,

Sorry but you mean storing form data when you say :"send form data to mysql database" ?

If yes then this is very simple, at the form manager, check teh form you wanna get data stored for then click on "create table" on the top right, choose your fields to be stored then hit "create table" at the bottom🙂

Cheers

Hi upcsadmin,

Max has said how to add data to the database, the other part of tyour question is showing a confirmation page. Please have a look at this FAQ which will give you the outline of what you need.

Is there also an easy way to make the entered data visible for other users of the website?

Tnx,

Rob

Hi Rob,

Yes you can - but you have to write the code to make it happen. There are a couple of recent examples in the forum here that show how it can be done. When I have a moment I'll put them into a little FAQ or tutorial.

Basically you need to access the database for the form, pull out the data you want, then write some kind of code loop to write it to the screen, probably as a table.
