This is one hook that you can add to the file "custom_hooks.php" that will accomplish this:</p> <p>You can copy and paste the code below and just modify the variables as instructed.</p> <p>// Substitute the form number for XXX and the element number for YYY<br /> // the element number is the form segement that receives information from a user when a<br /> // form is live.</p> <p>function formXXX_hook_post_validation($user_input){<br /> $status = $user_input['element_YYY'];</p> <p> // In the statement below, the letter 'Z' needs to be replaced by the value of the<br /> // element. But this can be tricky because radio forms and checkboxes often return<br /> // a value like a 1 or a 2. Make sure you know the value, and<br /> // don't confuse this with the form or element 'label'.</p> <p>if (strcasecmp($status,"Z") != 0)</p> <p>{</p> <p> // HERE'S THE MONEY STATEMENT<br /> // This is the redirect to a webpage - OR another APPFORM that the user fills out<br /> // This example illustrates a redirect to a Machform.</p> <p> $status = "http://www.ANOTHERWEBSITE.com/MACHFORM/view.php?id=6";<br /> header ("Location: $status");<br /> }</p> <p> else{<br /> $status = true;<br /> }</p> <p> return $status;<br /> }</p> <p>Note that you must also insert a bit of code into one of the other pages, to make sure this hook is called when the form is loaded. (See the next post from me...) </p>
