Sending form data to an external database

    Hi. We are planning to integrate the sending of data to our own database via PHP/MYSQL. Question is our form would include some IMAGE attachments (JPG, PNG)  from users filling-up the form. Would the IMAGE attachments be included as well when we forward them to our own database?

     

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Do you want form's submission data to be saved in your own database as well? Please note that there is no built-in feature to send submission data to your own database but with a little workaround, it is possible to achieve your requirement. There are actually multiple options available to send your submission data to the database:

    You can enable "Send Post Data" in your form preferences and then redirect to your own thank you page where you can read the submission data and save it in your own database. The following guide should help you:  http://www.jotform.com/help/213-Send-POST-Data-From-JotForm-Using-PHP-in-Custom-Thank-You-Page
