Could I generate data and send it via FormBuilder?

[amin30b]

Hi,

Let`s assume that I have this sample form with 3 fields :
-------
Name
-------
Phone
-------
Job
-------

Now I need additional hidden field to assign one generated random and unique code like [ABCDEFG123456] or any other code to above form and mail this unique code to user that submits data and webmaster.

Could you please guide me how can I do it?

If I write a php random code as user defined code can I use it in Form Builder module and send it as type of submited data field?

I created a User Defined Tag (let`s assume its name is "user_random_code") to generate random code :

Code: Select all

function genRandomString() {
    $length = 10;
    $characters = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
    $string = '';    

    for ($p = 0; $p < $length; $p++) {
        $string .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters))];
    }

    return $string;
}
echo genRandomString();

Then in form I added one field (-Hidden Field) with name "user_code" and set {user_random_code} as its assigned value.
As I found we can`t use (-User Defined Tag Call) field because it doesn`t send any data to recipient emails and FormBrowser module.

Now I can generate ,send mail and store random strings as user code . Also use them as unique ID for every single user that send this information to webmaster :
-------
Name
-------
Phone
-------
Job
-------

And now I`m in one complicated step!I need to have another form to get these values :
------------
User Code
------------
Request
------------

and when user submits above form then webmaster should receive these values :
------------
User Code
------------
Name
------------
phone
------------
Job
------------
Request
------------

How could I fetch other data with using (User Code) and send them to email address(es) or store them in database?

thanks in advance

Formbuilder has a fieldtype "Unique Integer (Serial)". Aren't you able to use that?

Yes, it can be used too.There is no difference but I prefer a random string with 10 characters length.
But now there is another issue!!! I have user code or user ID in database, how can I fetch other data
related to user code and post them with other forms data to email addresses or database?

How could I make a validator for my forms?
I mean that I have a form that contains (user code) field:
------------
User Code
------------

If the entered code (user code) there is in database user can fill and send the form else he/she will receive an error message.
I hope somebody help me to code above sentence!

Thanks
