Gform save field value

Description

Use this filter to change the field's value before saving it to the database. Use in conjunction with gform_get_input_value to perform low level transformations, such as encrypting/decrypting a field.

Usage

<?php
add_filter("gform_save_field_value", "save_field_value", 10, 4);
?>

Parameters

$value

(string) The current entry value to be filtered.

$lead

(Lead Object) The current entry.

$field

(Field Object) The field from which the entry value was submitted.

$form

(Form Object) The form from which the entry value was submitted.

Examples

This example base 64 encodes the field values. View gform_get_input_value for an example on how to decode the fields.

<?php
add_filter("gform_save_field_value", "save_field_value", 10, 4);
function save_field_value($value, $lead, $field, $form){

    return base64_encode($value);
}
?>

This is another example where you may select a specific form and specific fields to encode.

<?php
add_filter("gform_save_field_value", "save_field_value", 10, 4);
function save_field_value($value, $lead, $field, $form){
        //if not the form with fields to encode, just return the unaltered value without checking the fields
        if(absint($form["id"]) <> 94)
                return $value;
               
        //array of field ids to encode
        $encode_fields = array(1,2,3);
 
        //see if the current field id is in the array of fields to encode; encode if so, otherwise return unaltered value
        if(in_array($field["id"],$encode_fields))
                return base64_encode($value);
        else
                return $value;
}
?>
