Great tutorial but something's not quite working right.

Great tutorial but something's not quite working right.

We've embedded two jotforms on our wordpress site. Form 1 needs to pass the email and name fields to form 2. The email field is posting fine but the name field is not.

In my redirect.php file, if I use the name fields like they are in the tutorial -

$var1 = "?fullName[first]=".urlencode($answers[fullname][0]);

$var2 = "&fullName[last]=".urlencode($answers[fullname][1]);

- then the name doesn't pass to form 2. It's just blank.

But if I change it to this -

$var1 = "?name[first]=".urlencode($answers[name][0]);

$var2 = "&name[last]=".urlencode($answers[name][1]);

then the name passes fine to the form but gives this error:

Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /XXX/XXX/wp-includes/query.php on line 1609

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps it's a conflict with wordpress files. Any ideas?

Form 1 is here:

http://tinyurl.com/gtbqzj4

(which references this form https://form.jotform.com/62437535188160)

It redirects to form 2 here:

http://tinyurl.com/hh8fhop

(which refrences this form https://form.jotform.com/63063550543148)

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

The fullName[] is actually a name of the field that should capture a value. So on the example on the guide, fullName[first] is the exact name set in the input field on the source code

     Example: <input type="text" name="fullName[first]" class="someClass">

So to why it's not working in your form is because your 2nd form have the following values

   q7_name[first]
   q7_name[last]

With the rule on forms on JotForm, the characters up to the underscore are to be omitted. Therefore we only have

   name[first]
   name[last]

So the 2nd one is correct. What's wrong how trim() function is being used. As the error stated: Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /XXX/XXX/wp-includes/query.php on line 1609

This means that a value is being passed, but the value is not a string. Unlike the 1st use which returns blank or empty and probably it gets disregarded.

Now to understand further what's in line 1609 - can you provide more information on this part of your code? What is it trimming?

Will look forward to your response.

Thanks.
