 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to save the values of the forms to a database through a plugin but
   I cannot access the values of the posted data.
    I added this to my plugin but
   it does not work at all. Any ideas ?
 * add_action( ‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘process_contact_form_data’ );
    function
   process_contact_form_data(){ var_dump($contact_data->posted_data); $name = $contact_data-
   >posted_data[“your-name”]; $email = $contact_data->posted_data[“your-email”];
   return $email; }
 * Any help would be awesome.
 * Bart
