   Can you provide a pointer to the code where we could insert a xml generation script

   A customer of us uses a lot of forms.
   In the past the made there own php script to process all the forms.
   As forms getting more and more complicated, if recommended to have a look at machform.

   The only obstacle is that the now generate as email with a xml output of the form data as a attachment.
   That can be processed by the application that they use.

   An mysql script that generate a xml file for a certain entry is easy.

   S i was thinking to add this to the code at a certain point: Just before the email is generated. Also a point where there is access tot the record fields.

   Can you give me a pointer.

   It should be inside "includes/helper-functions.php" file. Around line 240, you'll find a function with the name "mf_send_notification".
   You can put your code into that function.

   All the data is already available within $entry_details array. So you can simply loop through that to get the data.

   Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I searched everywhere for a few days without much luck!

   I'm trying to do something similar - write an xml file and store it locally on the server.

   I can't work out how to access the fields contained in $entry_details...

   For example, I created a basic form with a single text field entry ('element_1' in the SQL database entry). I want to write the string value to my xml file, so in mf_send_notification(), after the call to mf_get_entry_details(), I am doing the following:

   $xml_filename = utf8_encode("XMLFile_{$entry_id}");
   $file = fopen($xml_filename,"w");
   echo fwrite($file,"TEST");
   echo fwrite($file,"{$entry_details['element_1']}");

   But the output file only contains "TEST"?

   Sorry, my php/sql skills are pretty limited... Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
