In this guide we will show you to how send the form data to another script, while maintaining the form validation and success actions of the Quform plugin.
Sending all form data
Add the following code to the theme functions.php file (or create a plugin for it).
123 4 5 6 7 | add_action('quform_post_process_1', function (array $result, Quform_Form $form) { wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array( 'body' => $form->getValues() )); return $result; }, 10, 2); |
add_action('quform_post_process_1', function (array $result, Quform_Form $form) {
wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array(
'body' => $form->getValues()
));
return $result;
}, 10, 2);- On line 1, replace the number
1with the form ID - On line 2, change the URL to the other script URL
1 2 34 5 6 7 8 9 | function my_post_process(array $result, Quform_Form $form) { wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array( 'body' => $form->getValues() )); return $result; } add_action('quform_post_process_1', 'my_post_process', 10, 2); |
function my_post_process(array $result, Quform_Form $form)
{
wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array(
'body' => $form->getValues()
));
return $result;
}
add_action('quform_post_process_1', 'my_post_process', 10, 2);- On line 3, change the URL to the other script URL
- On line 9, replace the number
1with the form ID
Rewriting the variable names
If the other script is expecting the values in the post data to have different names, you can rewrite them before sending the data.
Add the following code to the theme functions.php file (or create a plugin for it).
12 34567 8 910 11 12 13 14 | add_action('quform_post_process_1', function (array $result, Quform_Form $form){ $data = array( 'name' => $form->getValue('quform_1_3'), 'email' => $form->getValue('quform_1_4'), 'phone' => $form->getValue('quform_1_5'), 'message' => $form->getValue('quform_1_6') ); wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array( 'body' => $data )); return $result; }, 10, 2); |
add_action('quform_post_process_1', function (array $result, Quform_Form $form){
$data = array(
'name' => $form->getValue('quform_1_3'),
'email' => $form->getValue('quform_1_4'),
'phone' => $form->getValue('quform_1_5'),
'message' => $form->getValue('quform_1_6')
);
wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array(
'body' => $data
));
return $result;
}, 10, 2);- On line 1, change the number
1to the form ID - On lines 3 to 6, change the array so that the key is the name of the post variable the other script is expecting and replace
1_3,1_4,1_5and1_6with the element unique ID of the elements to get the value from - On line 9, change the URL to the other script URL
1 2 3 45678 9 1011 12 13 14 15 16 | function my_post_to_another_script(array $result, Quform_Form $form) { $data = array( 'name' => $form->getValue('quform_1_3'), 'email' => $form->getValue('quform_1_4'), 'phone' => $form->getValue('quform_1_5'), 'message' => $form->getValue('quform_1_6') ); wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array( 'body' => $data )); return $result; } add_action('quform_post_process_1', 'my_post_to_another_script', 10, 2); |
function my_post_to_another_script(array $result, Quform_Form $form)
{
$data = array(
'name' => $form->getValue('quform_1_3'),
'email' => $form->getValue('quform_1_4'),
'phone' => $form->getValue('quform_1_5'),
'message' => $form->getValue('quform_1_6')
);
wp_remote_post('http://www.example.com/script.php', array(
'body' => $data
));
return $result;
}
add_action('quform_post_process_1', 'my_post_to_another_script', 10, 2);- On lines 4 to 7, change the array so that the key is the name of the post variable the other script is expecting and replace
1_3,1_4,1_5and1_6with the element unique ID of the elements to get the value from - On line 10, change the URL to the other script URL
- On line 16, change the number
1to the form ID
Troubleshooting
To debug the request, you can temporarily install the plugin Log HTTP Requests. Once that plugin is installed and active, test the form submission again, then go to Tools → Log HTTP Requests. Find the request to the other script URL and click into it, look at the Response section to see if there is an error message, and check the Request body to make sure the data is being sent as expected.
