Webform Form action and target

Webform is a package, not a just a form-building tool. This would be better off as a separate module without all the bells and whistles of Webform (not to mention the significant weight). I'd suggest a super-simple module that uses Form Builder to construct the forms.

Here's the code to extract all the form data and fields

theme('webform_mail_fields', 0, $form_values['submitted_tree'], $node);

so you can use it like this

------

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
setTimeout('document.test.submit()',5000);
//--></SCRIPT>

<form name="test" action="where_you_want_to_send_it.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="data" value="<?php echo theme('webform_mail_fields', 0, $form_values['submitted_tree'], $node); ?>">
<input type="submit" name="submit>
</form>

------

Customize the above code as needed and paste it in the "Additional Processing" field in the webform properties.

Here is a method that works for me to send the form data on to Paypal.

I used Webform to create the basic form. In my case, I do want the data stored in the database. In the Webform Advanced Settings I added the following code to the Additional Processing

// Create and populate an array for Paypal-specific data
$paypal = array();
$paypal['cmd'] = '_xclick';
$paypal['business'] = 'MY PAYPAL ADDRESS';  // doing this here prevents email harvesting
$paypal['page_style'] = 'Primary';
$paypal['bn'] = 'PP-DonationsBF';
$paypal['item_name'] = 'Donation';
$paypal['currency_code'] = 'USD';
$paypal['no_shipping'] = '1';
$paypal['tax'] = '0';
$paypal['lc'] = 'US';
$paypal['rm'] = '1';
$paypal['return'] = 'http://MY THANK YOU PAGE';
$paypal['cancel_return'] = 'http://MY CANCEL PAGE';

// Append the Paypal data to the $form_values['submitted_tree']
$data = array_merge($form_values['submitted_tree'], $paypal);

// Put the data in a query string
$query = http_build_query($data, '', '&');

// Set the URL to Paypal's processing site and append the query string
$url = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?' .$query;

// Set the webform's confirmation page to Paypal
$node->webform['confirmation'] = $url;

This assumes that there is a webform field named "amount" because that is what Paypal expects.

I could have create all these fields as Webform hidden fields, but then the page would have rendered with an email address (the ['business'] field), which could be harvested by bots. I never put hard-coded email addresses on pages. It's just easier for me to create all the hidden fields in one place.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone.

-jfinkel - This is exactly what I was looking for! Great solution to a very common web practice. Your time and effort in sharing this with the community is greatly appreciated!

jfinkel-

I think this method would work for me as well. However, I will need to change it to work with linkpoint.
if I add the code just as you have it, the form submits but nothing is redirected.

I am getting this error:
warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /myroot/sites/all/modules/webform_php/webform_php.module(82) : eval()'d code on line 18.

same thing on line 21.

I am a novice and any suggestions would be most helpful.

re #5 on 6.x-3.2 there is no Additional Processing field. I tried putting this in the confirmation field, but it didn't work. Is there a way of doing this in 6.x-3.2?

Now trying this with Webform PHP (http://drupal.org/project/webform_php) but the code snippet in #5 will need tweeking as the data is submitted with no PayPal payment.... I'll post updated Additional Processing code for Webform 3 with PHP here if I figure it out!

For those using Webform 3, check out this post, which contains sample code I used with my D7 site to redirect a user to PayPal after completing a webform (thanks partly to code found in this thread):

The Webform Payments module is slated for a D7 release some time, but I haven't heard much since October last year...
