Hi..

You have to edit view-functions.php and post_functions.php to do that. I assume you will display element_1 input on form 1 success message.

1. post_functions.php add to line 948
```
//retrieve the data from element
if ($key == 'element_1' && $form_id == '1') {
	$_SESSION['form_element_data'] = $value;
}
```
2. view_functions.php edit line 2243

from
```
<h2>{$form->success_message}</h2>
```
to
```
<h2>{$form->success_message}<hr />YOUR INPUT {$_SESSION['form_element_data']}</h2>
```

Well almost the solution.. :) But i want to display the entry number of the form ...not element or input details.... which is the form data.....can u help me out with that...

the entry number is the form entry number that is recorded in the backend entries ... when a form is submitted.

I see, you want to get id number of your data in database. So you can ignore the first modification (post_functions.php line 948) and insert this following code below line 1013 in post_functions.php
```
//retrieve the id from last inserted data
if ($form_id == '1') {
   $_SESSION['form_element_data'] = $record_insert_id;
}
```

i did the above and and it works in firefox, it does not work on IE7, even when the site is added to trusted sites and forced to take all cookies.

I am using this to allow a link to bookmark your form details

added to view-functions 2065-
a href="/view_entry.php?form_id=1&id={$_SESSION['form_element_data']}">bookmark form results</a

bsimpson -- what didn't work?

displaying the link itself or clicking the "bookmark form result" link?

the link displays (as it is manually added to the view functions file) but the id does not display
the link reads "a href="/view_entry.php?form_id=1&id=">bookmark form results</a "

where it is just blank or it will print
id=&PHPSESSID=b6dc60fc986d4e0c00498bc732dfd8f6

after some more experimenting, it works fine if i use the link
/view.php?id=1
to view the form, but if i use the php embed method it does not work on IE 6/7

ahh.. so you are using php embed code?

if so, on the page where you embed the php code, insert this line:
```
<?php session_start(); ?>
```
It should be placed at the very top of your page (line 1).

how can we show all of the form submission info?

Hmm..if you need to show all form submission info, I suggest to just enable "form review".

That would display all the entry prior submitting.

I don't know what I am doing wrong here. Simply trying to get DATA ID for confirmation number on form for users. I have added the line of code to line 1013. Now the chunk looks like this.

//start insert query ----------------------------------------
$field_list = substr($field_list,0,-1);
$field_values = substr($field_values,0,-1);

if(empty($form_review)){
$query = "INSERT INTO ap_form_{$form_id} ($field_list) VALUES ($field_values);";
}else{ //insert to temporary table, if form review is enabled
$query = "INSERT INTO ap_form_{$form_id}_review ($field_list) VALUES ($field_values);";
//retrieve the id from last inserted data
if ($form_id == '1') {
$_SESSION['form_element_data'] = $record_insert_id;
}
}

do_query($query);

$record_insert_id = mysql_insert_id();
//end insert query ------------------------------------------

and I have made success message

<h2>{$form->success_message}<hr />YOUR CONFIRMATION # {$_SESSION['form_element_data']}</h2>

The form success page just says "YOUR CONFIRMATION #" with no number after it. I am not a PHP guru

have you add this code
```
<?php session_start(); ?>
```
in the first line of your success page ?

Using iframe embed in the page... adding the line of code didn't help

Here are the two codes I edited. Around the lines suggested in this thread.

anything on this? still having trouble. I would like it so the customer receives a confirmation # and the confirmation # also appears in the email notification title.

I found these custom code in "post-functions.php" is around line 1015 ~ 1017 :
```
if ($form_id == '1') {
$_SESSION['form_element_data'] = $record_insert_id;
}
```
try to move those code after this line (line 1022)
```
$record_insert_id = mysql_insert_id();
```
Don't forget to change the form ID's also. However if the problem still persist, please send your FTP login info to :

customer.service[at]appnitro.com

I'll help you with the customization

Hi guys, is there a more recent/updated version of this guide? I'd like to be able to do this with the latest version (as of today, June 2013). It seems like this thread was created 4 years ago, and thus the question.

Thanks!
