Use a field value in php code?

Hi🙂

Let's suppose I have a "pwd" text field in my form. I want to send the md5 hash of pwd by email

In Email template i wrote:

<?php echo (md5({pdw})); ?>

but it didn't work

neither

<?php echo (md5($pdw)); ?>

What am I doing wrong? :blush:

Thank you in advance :silly:

Hi faber,

The sequence isd important here. You might find that

<?php echo (md5('{pdw}')); ?>

will work. Personally I'd play safe and use either:

<?php echo (md5($_POST['pwd'])); ?>

I think that will work. If not, then you'll need to copy the Joomla 1.5.x JGet code over from the Autogenerated code tab.

Thank you so much Bob!

Just one note: the text in "code" tags was not delivered in the email🙂

Hi faber,

No - the Fireboard Forums parser is hightly individual and clearly doesn't care for emails. Actually I think it depends on some clever css that gets stripped out somewhere.
