Hello bob

Actually i am using chronoform v4 but i am unable to understand what are the benefits & how to use custom element field in form

Please explain!!!

Thanks

Hi ZahidFayaz,

Yu can use it when you need to add code PHP and or HTML that isn't available from the other elements. For example you might want to include a special image button in your form; or a custom file uploader. Things like that. You will know when you need it.

Hi Bob, Hi all,
I've a multipage form and in the last page I inserted this code in custom element:

<?php 
$Iban = $form->data['IbanPag'] ;
$CodPaese = substr($Iban, 0 , 2) ;
echo "<input type=\"text\"  value=\"$CodPaese\" name=\"CodicePaesePag\" />";
?>

the

$form->data['IbanPag']

is from previous page, but don't work, any idea?
Regards.

Hi jack19,

Use the 'Data to Session' action in the On Submit event of the previous step and the 'Session to Data' action in the On Load event of this step to carry the data forward. Note that you must set the same Session Key for both actions for this to work correctly.

Hi Bob,
Don't work.
If I use the html coding {IbanPag} appears too without Session to Data and Data to Session (but displays the data in DB).
If I use the php code

$form->data['IbanPag']

does not work.😢

This problem occurs when I am in edit mode of the form.
I do not know if it is in insert mode, but I think so.

Hi Gioacchino,

I'm sorry the tranalstaion makes this hard to understand.

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug results here.

Hi Bob,
I'm sorry for my bad English.
I found this solution:

<?php 
$Iban = $_REQUEST['IbanPag'] ;
$CodPaese = substr($Iban, 0 , 2) ;
echo "<input type=\"hidden\"  value=".$CodPaese." name=\"CodicePaesePag\" />";
?>

and work, no Data to Session and Session to Data.
