I need to drop a couple of php variables into some hidden field values for the form to post to a 3rd party processor. How do I insruct cforms to utilize a var like ($somevar)?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

Thought I would elaborate on my situation.

I am trying to use cforms as a simple builder to put together the form to post to Authorize.net.

In the template I put some Authorize.net code that populates a few variables that I need to drop into the value of the required required hidden fields.

In the end I need to have 3 hidden fields named appropriately and populated with the dynamically generated values in the variables in the Authorize.net code

If I wrote it by hand it would look similar to this.

<input type="hidden" name="x_fp_hash" value="<?php echo $fingerprint ?>">

with a HTML result like

<input type="hidden" name="x_fp_hash" value="X2z45kghecswoIY549wjdA">

Thanks

If the hidden field name needs to be dynamic, you need to use cforms dynamic form feature (see your Help page).

If only the value of the hidden field  changes *and* you can pass on the variable via the URL (e.g. ?x_fp_hash=123) then the hidden fields gets populated automatically.

Maybe I am missing something 

How do I get the value of a php variable ('$fingerprint') into the value of an input field named 'x_fp_hash'?

Can I literally put '$fingerprint' within the value of a field named 'x_fp_hash' and cforms will recogonize this as a php variable and replace it with the variables value?

Thanks.

Hi!

You didn't answer Oliver's implied question, but if this is all about PHP values, then you need to use the dynamic form feature.

From you response I take it that you haven't looked at the Help! page at all.
