🔘 Display form data to your custom thank you page using a PHP script.

To post form data to your thank you page, please follow these steps:
1. Click SETTINGS at the top.
2. Then FORM SETTINGS on the left nav.
3. Click the SHOW MORE OPTIONS button.
4. Scroll down until you see the SEND POST DATA section then set it to YES.
And if you want to get your post data variables along with pre-formatted PHP codes, follow these steps:
1. Click SETTINGS at the top.
2. Then THANK YOU PAGE on the left.
3. Select REDIRECT TO EXTERNAL LINK option.
4. Then paste the following URL: https://www.jotform.com/show-post-data/

Hello,
I submitted info one the Demo form: https://www.jotform.com/62301599849972

Hey. If I have stopped on the item "Set Yes on Send Post Data". I chose "Yes". And I do not choose in the Thank You wizard, Redirect to an external link. How can I get POST data in this case?
My form appears in the modal window. I want that gratitude would appear in the modal window too, but I would have to POST Data filled by the user.
Hi, I did as you wrote "tur on POST data" but after that i get:
"No Post Data Received. Make sure you enabled Send Post Data on your form. Then, try again."
Please help :/
my post thank you page at
https://www.foodfunshop.com/jotforms/index.php?submit=1
is not receiving any data from my form at
https://form.jotform.me/70671438090456
Just wondering if it is normal behavior for the jotform submission itself to hang on "Please wait while we are processing your request" after sending post data to a custom PHP page? If it helps, the user is then redirected with the header function to a real "Thank You" page at my website. What results is a new tab opening with my sites "Thank You" page and the Jotform submission tab hanging on the aforementioned message. This might be a bit disconcerting to users even though my Thank You page tells them we have received their submission.
How do you create a database tables from your JotForm?
i have the ame problem in wordpress and i dont find any sulotion for it . its my conntact page in wordpress http://www.tojihi.com/contact
I can not get this function to work for any of my forms anymore. Why is that?
Great I didn't know about this feature and works great. I don't use PHP (I use Tango) but any language that can pick up post arguments should be able to use it. Just be sure to sanatise the data for screen output or database input.
This is a slick feature - thanks for implementing it. It would be nice to see non-php solutions for json perhaps? or iis?
Hey guys, I think these instructions are seriously out of date!
Try these steps instead:
1. Go to MY FORMS, click your form, then select EDIT FORM.
2. click THANK YOU from the menu ribbon, click CHANGE PAGE LINK (on the lower right of the preview screen)
3. Copy and paste this link into that field:
http://www.jotform.com/show-post-data/
4. Click APPLY then close the THANK YOU preview
5. Click PREFERENCES on the menu ribbon and select the ADVANCED SETTINGS tab.
5. Click the box on the left titled SEND POST DATA.
6. Change the setting to YES and click CLOSE SETTINGS at the bottom of the dialog.
7. Click SAVE FORM on the menu ribbon.
Will this use your forms submission slot?
Im setting up a customer db on another server.
Currently the user is redirected to Stripe for credit-card validation. What I want is a copy of the form data to be processed by my server, but only once Stripe has validated the user's credit card info.
So my question is, does the redirect to the "Thank You" page occur AFTER credit card validation with Stripe or before? (IE as soon as Jot-form validates the form-data (which would be VERY bad practice IMHO!))?
Cheers in advance

Hi, great post
whenever i submit my form data and redirects to the php page, i get this text:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1265 {\fonttbl\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Menlo-Regular;} {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;} \paperw11900\paperh16840\margl1440\margr1440\vieww10800\viewh8400\viewkind0 \deftab720 \pard\pardeftab720 \f0\fs28 \cf0 \cb1 Array ( ) }
how to fix?
Thanks
I am passing a 'returnURL' which contains a URL with various parameters (including a GUID) into a hidden field on my form. That works fine.
Is there any way I can post data to that URL? The URL will be different every case (because of the GUID parameter). I don't really want a Thank You page as there may be a succession of forms or our applications own prompts.
hi
Hi,
When I create a test.php file and submit the form it tells me that the page does not exist. Below is the custom url I put into the form instead of a thank you page.

Any ideas?
Thanks

If my form is redirected to paypal for payment processing, will jetform execute my thank you page php program?
Isn't there an easier way to do this without having to set up a database and use PHP?
In other words, similar to the embed HTML used for the original form? An iframe?
for me its not getting,
i redirected my page to https://pres.herokuapp.com/test1.php
my form id http://form.jotform.me/form/22531837069457
it is only shownig
Thankyou for signing up
in my editor also " Thankyou $firstname $surname for signing up!"; is showing in same colour means colour is not changing for $firstname and $surname
In dumb terms, how do I add the submission date to the thank you page with a custom message. We don't have our own web hosting so we would like to use JotForm's thank you page to include the submission date.

hi,
someone can help me to post form result in new post in webspell ? ( cms forum )
thx
Can someone give a quick, practical example on the code that needs to go on the test.php page. Just for the sake of the example, lets say I want it to read, "Thank you **NAME_FIELD** for signing up!" How would that look?
Thanks so much!
You could do something like this...
$business = $_POST['businessname'];
$addyarray = $_POST['address5']; /* Array */
$zip = $addyarray[4];
$type = $_POST['typeof'];
$state = $addyarray[3];
Then, just echo the vars.
Can i use jotform to create login and signup fied and if posible how do i go about it
Hello is there a way to use $_REQUEST function in php to get form values. I am trying to do so but it's not picking up data.
print_r($_POST) only gives an array and does not put data in variables that I can use to update DB. Please advise.
Can I set the "field id" so that I know exactly what I am receiving on my server end? Right now, I have to either look at the source of the form or monitor from my server end to see the exact ids of the fields.
Is it possible to have the data sent to a list in awebber or mailchimp?
Thank you.
Ben
I followed all the instructions but my result looks like:
Array ( [submission_id] => 176036653174131631 [formID] => 11890036676 [ip] => 174.131.63.103 [fullname6] => Array ( [0] => Jim [1] => Seamans ) [address3] => Array ( [0] => 1234 5th St [1] => [2] => Ocala [3] => Fl [4] => 32686 [5] => United States ) [bedrooms] => 3 [clickto] => 064_lavewe_003.jpg )
Is it possible, show a Thank you message in the same form without needing to go another blank page with just two lines of text?
Thanks for your answer.
Thanks, this seems like it would be very useful but since I am not comfortable using php, I will settle by using Jotform's report pages.
Thanks though.
Click on "Preferences"
Click on "Advanced Settings" tab
You can change "send post data" to yes.
Step 3, enable 'Send Post Data', is nowhere that I can find.
ok i´ve got the same idea later.. i can get the current date on my thank you page... thanks a lot
Can I set the "field id" so that I know exactly what I am receiving on my server end? Right now, I have to either look at the source of the form or monitor from my server end to see the exact ids of the fields.
Please do the things stated in user guide. You doın't need to receive the date. You can get the current date when you are processing the post data.
Hi Team,
great solution, great forms, great great great .. i begin love jotform ;)
one question:
i miss the "Submission Date" Value in the $_POST, why? any reason?
Thanks
Chris
Oops! I included code in my post and it didn't show up. My bad.
Okay, I was stating that it's better form for the PHP start tag to be "?php" than just "?".
