Create a new form from php

[pczjrh]

Hi,
I’m writing a plugin that depends on Quform for personal use.
Is it possible to create a form (setting ID etc) and generate fields entirely in php?
If so, are there examples anywhere?
Many thanks,
Jason.

OK, so I found out how to duplicate a form via the export function – that code can be c’n’p into another site, or page etc.
When that form gets duplicated elsewhere it will get a unique form_id…

why does this approach not work?

//dynamically find the form id by searchng for the name
$forms_array = iphorm_get_all_forms();
foreach($forms_array as $f) {
	if ( $f['name'] == 'Form Name Here' ) {
		$post_process = "'iphorm_post_process_".$f['id']."'";
	}
}
add_action( $post_process, 'my_post_process_1');

Thanks Ally, very helpful.

To follow up.. once I’ve got the form id and defined the action hook, I’ve defined a series of constants to construct the string used in the $form->getValues() call, as such

define("id1", "'iphorm_".$f['id']."_1'");

then using this within a callback function elsewhere

$var = $form->getValue(id1);

This results is an empty value for $var…
Can you point me the right way to get the form fields dynamically?

Thanks in advance,
Jason.

Doh!

define("id1", 'iphorm_'.$f['id'].'_1');

is what is needed. I thought the call required an explicit string, but apparently not.

I’ll leave the reply above for others to see if it’s helpful.

Many thanks again for your help.
Jason.
