How to process submitted data in v.3?
-
hey! Thanks for GREAT plugin and Happy Christmas to everyone!
The task to forms builder is very simple: I wanna send the data from form to another page and according to the result to build the correspondent content. I built the form – without problem, calculate the values – without problems, inform admin and redirect to my page – without problem… but how to get the post data? ) I know that $_POST and $_REQUEST do not work and I did not find at all – how to process submitted data in v. 3? there were some fine shortcodes early, like [ninja_forms_all_fields] or global $ninja_forms_processing->get_field_value( 3 )/ And what about v.3? Understood nothing – and mainly – can not find that topic to read… I want simply to redirect form to another page and then process the got data from within functions.php, with or without shortcodes ( I will do all myself) but how… what exactly I must write in functions.php?
Thanks in advance, I do think – that is not the problem to ninja.

Hey, Kyle!
Thanks for the respond, but it is clear, that clear nothing for now…
Look:
1/ if I add to functionsadd_filter( ‘ninja_forms_submit_data’, ‘my_ninja_forms_submit_data’ );
function my_ninja_forms_submit_data( $form_data ) {
return print_r($form_data); // just to look what is there
}
– nothing happen and the form is stopped with button “processing…” something wrong… and It seems to me – that the form hangs correctly : I try to use add_filter before hook apply…
ok:
2/ declare new shortcode in functions:function my_ninja_forms_submit_data( $form_data ) {
return print_r($form_data); // just to look what is there
}function ninja_process(){
add_filter( ‘ninja_forms_submit_data’, ‘my_ninja_forms_submit_data’ );
}add_shortcode( ‘test’, ‘ninja_process’ );
I redirected ninja form to the page with [test] : everything is going on (now add_filter after apply_filter hook), but the redirected page is empty… There is no print_r($form_data)… Ok, I tried to return this way:
function my_ninja_forms_submit_data( $form_data ) {
print_r($form_data);
return $form_data[ ‘fields’ ][0];
}
– nothing… Page is empty… How in the end THIS SHOULD WORK?.. the simplest situation, but nothing… and there are a lot of questions in web, but no answers…[ No bumping please. ]
The easiest way to get form data to another page is to use a redirect to a URL with query string values (using merge tags).
ie
http://site.com/another-page?name={field:name}This can be setup in the form builder’s Redirect Action. Then on the page that you redirect to, you can access the values from the $_GET global variable.
ie
$name = $_GET[ 'name' ];Also, you probably aren’t seeing anything from your dump because it is inside of an AJAX request, so executing PHP will not display directly in the browser.
