Formidable Forms is the best WordPress Form Builder plugin. Get it for free!

Usage

add_filter('frm_entries_before_create', 'process_cc', 10, 2);

Parameters

  • $errors (array)
  • $form (object)

Examples

Send submitted entry to another site

Sometimes there is a need to send your data on the another site without actually redirecting to it. You can use the following code in conjunction with the Formidable API in order to accomplish this. This will require quite a bit of customization to put together the url needed.

add_filter('frm_entries_before_create', 'yourfunctionname', 30, 2);
function yourfunctionname( $errors, $form ) {
 if($form->id == 5){ //replace 5 with the id of the form

    $args = array();
    if(isset($_POST['item_meta'][30])) //replace 30 and 31 with the appropriate field IDs from your form
      $args['data1'] = $_POST['item_meta'][30]; //change 'data1' to the named parameter to send 
    if(isset($_POST['item_meta'][31]))
      $args['data2'] = $_POST['item_meta'][31]; //change 'data2' to whatever you need
    $response = wp_remote_post('http://example.com', array('body' => $args));
    $body = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response );
    if ( is_wp_error( $response ) || is_wp_error( $body ) ) {
      $errors[] = 'There was an error sending your request';
    }
 }
 return $errors;
}
