Submission Pre-Parser - wslover317 - Jul 26th, 2013
Hi,
In form tools I am using the Submission Pre-Parser module with an API form.
It states in the description if you need to split a single form field into multiple fields, this can be done.
Can anyone give me an example of how this is done?
IE, I am adding 1278|Toy 2 as a value in a drop down. I would like to separate via the | and store the id "1278" in an id field and "Toy 2" in a toy field.
Thank you in advance,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Here is an example from our documentation on how to use the submission pre-parser: http://modules.formtools.org/submission_pre_parser/?page=combining_fields_example
You can add your rules into the pre-parser and use the explode function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php
Cheers,
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have seen the example but what I want to do is the exact opposite.
If my value for frm_toys is 1278|Toy
How would I split that based on the separator and post 1278 to id and Toy to Name
Using the pre-parser?

You'll need to tinker around with this, but the code should be something like:
if ((isset($_POST["frm_toys"]) && !empty($_POST["frm_toys"])) = explode("|", $frm_toys);
$_POST["ID"] = $drop_down_field[0]; // ID field needs to be defined in Form Tools already
$_POST["name"] = $drop_down_field[1]; // name field needs to be defined in Form Tools already
Cheers,
Joe

That should give me the start I needed.
Thank you very much!

if ((isset($_POST["frm_toys"]) && !empty($_POST["frm_toys"])) = explode("|", $frm_toys);
$_POST["ID"] = $frm_toys[0];
$_POST["name"] = $frm_toys[1];
$drop_down_field was just an example. Replaced it with the variable you were using.
Cheers,
Joe
