How can I use the form values in my custom php?

I put some php code under 'Script called on form process' but I can't retrieve the form values.

How can I retrieve for example the value of a field called email_address and use this value in my custom php code?

Regards,

Gosling Cools

Hello,

You can simply use the following syntax:
$_POST['form']['email_address']

You can view the exact structure of the $_POST variable by using something like this (in the Scripts called on form process area):
print_r($_POST);die();

I've created a form with two checkbox groups. That returns two delimited lists of ticked entries, which I want to cat together into a single list, and then parse into an array and write back to the database.

I've written something like this in the 'Script called on form process' area:

$allmembers= $_POST ."|". $_POST;
$member = explode("|",$allmembers);
$att=1;


I want to write $member and $att to a table, but they're not listed in the SQL mapping area.

So I've tried adding this to the code:

for($i=0; $i<count($member);$i++)
{
$db=& JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery("INSERT INTO attendance SET id = '".$member[$i]."', IdEvent = '".$_POST."', AttStatus = '".$att."'");
}


I can't tell where this is failing, or whether there's more than one thing wrong with it. Is my code wrong, or am I trying to put it in the wrong place? Or both?

I've found a workaround - I'll write the delimited string to a temporary SQL table, and then create a custom SQL function to parse it there.

Not a pretty solution, but it gets me what I want.
