Remove zero values on PDF submission 3 years 8 months ago #41570

Hello,

I'd appreciate some help. I'm using range sliders to define specific values.

On the PDF, I'm trying to remove zero values submitted by the range sliders.

In the form properties, in User PDF Pre-processing PHP Script I'm placing the following scripts and the zeros are still showing on the PDF:

if (is_numeric($_POST)) {
$tmax = $_POST;
}else {
$tmax = 'null';
}

if (empty($_POST) && $_POST != 0) {
$tmax = null;
} else {
$tmax = $_POST;
}

if (!isset($_POST) || $_POST == '') {
$tmax = null;
}else {
$tmax = $_POST;
}


Can someone please advise what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you

I think I'd probably try this in the 'PHP scripts called on form process like this
if ($_POST['form']['slider_name'] < 1) {
 $_POST['form']['slider_name'] = null;
}
Then you could use the {if} tags in the pdf so that if it has no value it doesn't show
{if {slider_name:value}}{slider_name:value} {/if}
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you obviously don't understand the situation!

Thank you, this is helpful.

I think I need to adjust my mindset and rather use this to achieve the objective:

@iceferret, thank you very much.

I just changed it slightly and it works perfectly!

if ($_POST = 0) {
$_POST = null;
}

These two articles are worth reading, the second article is a bit more in-depth but applies equally to PDF generation. I use it a lot particularly with membership forms where there are lots of options that may/may not have empty values

Using the if statement

and

Dynamically adjust email
