Hi rubyakerman,

Assuming that you are using CFv4 you can add a Custom Code action before the cURL action to build your text message something like this:

<?php
$form->data['text'] = "Form submitted by {$form->data['phone']} {$form->data['number']} check your mail now";
$form->data['text'] = urlencode($form->data['text']);
?>

hello GreyHead

first thanks a lot

how can i put that code in the whrite place?
what should i do in the commponent?

Hi rubyakerman,

Use the form Advanced Wizard and drag a Custom Code action into the On Submit event then move it up before the cURL action and click the 'Configure' icon to open it.

i am using version 2.3.0.988

is it matter?

oops oops i am using v3, is it matter?

Hi rubyackerman,

Yes it matters. In CFv3 there is an Extra Code tab in the cURL plug-in configuration with an 'Extra before CURL code'. You can add code there but it needs to be slightly different:

<?php
$phone =& JRequest::getString('phone', '', 'post');
$number =& JRequest::getString('number', '', 'post');
$text = "Form submitted by {$phone} {$number} check your mail now";
$text = urlencode($text);
JRequest::setVar('text', $text);
?>
