Please replace the ??? with your data!

  • URL to the FORM: http://???
  • The browser used: any
  • cforms version: 11.0
  • Your Wordpress version: 2.8.4

Hello,

I'm using cforms on a site that features a bunch of different products. I would like to send along the product ID when folks submit a form from one of my product pages. I've currently assigned the product id to a variable:

<?php

$theProductID = "123456";

?>

How would add the "$theProductID" value to the subject line of the  form before it is sent so that it appears in the subject line?

thanks

do the products link to the page with the form?

  • if so, simply add the product ID to the URL link as a paramter:
    URL?var1=123456
  • then add a hidden form field, name it var1
  • enabled custom Names/IDs for the form

if not, and "PHP" is your only option, you need to use the dynamic form feature and create your form on the fly, also

  • using a hidden field, but assign the product ID via your code / form definition

once you have the hidden field with the data, simply reference it in your subject line via {var1}.

both methods have been described several times and in length in this forum, might also want to check the HELP! page.

Hi Oliver

What if I have the following scenario:

  1. Users click on a link that has the following urL=http://www.domain.com/form?var1=1234
  2. I want "1234" to display in the first field of the form

Is this possible? If so could you kindly let me know how it should be done.

Here is one example: http://www.pampashosting.com.a…..tilla=3618
