Verification Before Form Submission

[smart367]

Hello,

I want to have the user type in a 4 digit ‘PIN’ (required field) before they submit the form. The PIN must match the PIN I have stored in the user database, basically verifying who they are before accepting the data. So basically I need to compare what they type to ‘user_pin’ in the user db before their request is successfully submitted. Any ideas, it should be easy, wasn’t sure what exactly to search for in the forum.

I have looked at a bunch of examples and I’m pretty sure I’m close but it’s still not giving me what I want.


function my_pin_validator($valid, $value, $element)
{
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$value = $current_user->user_pin;
}

return $value;

if ($value != user_pin) {
$element->addError('This PIN does not match our records. Please try again');
$valid = false;
}

return $valid;
}
add_filter('iphorm_element_valid_iphorm_5_64', 'my_pin_validator', 10, 3);


User_pin is in my WP User DB.

Considering whether the 1st “if” statement is necessary or not, my alternate try at this would be:


function my_pin_validator($valid, $value, $element)

if ($value != user_pin) {
$element->addError('This PIN does not match our records. Please try again');
$valid = false;
}

return $valid;
}
add_filter('iphorm_element_valid_iphorm_5_64', 'my_pin_validator', 10, 3);


Neither works, I am close, I think…

BTW – are there any developers familiar with Quform available in this forum?
If I’m out of line asking here, I apologize.
