Hi to all,
I'm using DB Record loader feature to load DB fields in order to perform ad EDIT action on record submitted previously with an INSERT form.
I need to manage the loaded record also through PHP code.
In my EDIT view form I use the sintax:
<input type="text" value="{db_column_name}">
and all goes well.

When I use the sintax
<?php
echo "test:". $form->data['db_column_name'];
?>
nothing happen.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi sfigattomambo,

Where exactly do you have this code? And what is the code you are testing?

I would probably do the data 'massaging' in a Custom Code action and add the results into the $form->data[] array as, for example $form->data['db_column_name_modified']

Then you can use {db_column_name_modified} in a Custom Element element to display the result.

Hi Bob,
many thanks for your answer.
I'm trying to use the code:

<?php
echo "test:". $form->data['db_column_name'];
?>

in my form frontend code (the code loaded through Show Html feature).
I want to catch some values saved into DB in order to show or hide some dedicated input fields.

Thanks

Hi sfigattomambo,

Use a Debugger action in the On Load event to see exactly what values are in the $form->data array. If you are using a Model ID in the DB Record Loader the data will be in a sub-array.

Hi Bob,
what I was looking for is for data loaded in $data['xxx'] array.
Using the $data['myVar'] and $_POST['mySubmittedField'] arrays I solved my problem.

Many thanks
Luca
