Calling a php script when form is submitted - Fazzax - Nov 16th, 2016
Hi!
I'm willing to have a script started when the user submit his form.
The php code is in a separate file I'd like to call, and uses many other librairies and variables from the form.
I can't get it done. I've looked through the hook manager module, but I can't have it work properly...
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

Is this for an internal form or an external form?
RE: Calling a php script when form is submitted - Fazzax - Nov 16th, 2016
It's for an external form

For an external form, the easiest way i have found is tois to call it in the thank you page. What kind of script are you running on submit?

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty new in using formtools. Do you mean directly inserting the script in "publish/THANKYOU PAGE CONTENT" (form builder module)?
It's this kind of script (month being a $ of the form):
Code:
<?php
require_once './PHPWord/PHPWord.php';
$PHPWord = new PHPWord();
$document = $PHPWord->loadTemplate('./Template/template.docx');
$document->setValue('Value1', 'month');
$document->save('./Contract/$month.docx');
?>I wanted to attach the file created directly with the email sent

Ahh gotcha, I always forget about the formbuilder module. I would have to do some research on how that works, I've never used it. I know it has some reduced flexibility when it comes to stuff like this. If I have time tonight I'll take a look and see if there's an easy way to do it.
Check out http://modules.formtools.org/form_builder/?page=tt_thankyou_page
You may be able to insert it in the template there.

Ok thanks!
couldn't find where/which template I should insert it in...
Do you have any ideas?

I'm not in front of my computer but this should help. Let me know if you can't find it.

Yep found it! Thanks!
Looks like I need to add {{ and }} to every line to get it interpreted, right?
RE: Calling a php script when form is submitted - alexh - Nov 16th, 2016
I'm not sure. I really need to play with formbuilder so I can help answer some of these questions!
