Populating external Database

Desperados 19 Nov, 2012
Hi there,

I was just wondering if it is at all possible to redirect the submission of a form so it will sent the form information to an external data base?

I have been looking through some forums and the best suggestion so far has been to use <FORM ACTION="http://www.mylinktopopulate..."> </form>

However, I'm not sure where I could paste this code in order for it to work.

Is there anywhere where I can insert it into the php file directly?

Any tips or suggestion are very appreciated!

Thank you for your time!

Hi Rene,

It depends on whether you want to send just the data or both the data and the user to the other site?

In either case changing the action URL is usually the least helpful way of doing it as it means that ChronoForms never sees the submitted data and can't do anything with it.

PS I have a paid tutorial here covering some of the ways that you can handle sending form data. There are also a lot of posts her in the forums if we know what you need to do.
