Form Integration

API

The following functions were written to simplify your job of integrating your forms with Form Tools. Click on any of the following links for more information.

ft_api_init_form_page

Called on every one of your External Form pages. This function does all the dirty work of getting the unique submission ID, starting sessions to store your form values and other such helpful functionality.

ft_api_process_form

Submit your form information to Form Tools via PHP code, rather than directly posting it to process.php. This function lets you submit the entire submission in one go, or page by page for multi-page forms. Formerly named process_form() in Form Tools 1.x.

ft_api_clear_form_sessions

Clears sessions for a form.

ft_api_display_image_field

Displays an image that has been uploaded through the form.

ft_api_create_blank_submission

Creates a blank submission in the database. Generally you don't need to deal with this function, since it's called implicitly by ft_api_init_form_page.
