I’ll try. But I’m repeating my self here. But maybe this will clarify.
This is my ACF form:
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php acf_form(array(
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'db_test',
'post_status' => 'publish'
),
'submit_value' => 'Create a new event',
// 'return' => '/wp-content/themes/MY_THEME/includes/new-employee.php'
)); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
</div>
It gives me this HTML
<form id="acf-form" class="acf-form" action="" method="post">
<div class="acf-fields acf-form-fields -top">
<div id="Firstname" class="acf-field acf-field-text acf-field-5968834df2ac1 voornaam" style="width:40%;" data-name="voornaam" data-type="text" data-key="field_5968834df2ac1" data-width="40">
<div class="acf-label">
<label for="acf-field_5968834df2ac1">Voornaam</label>
</div>
<div class="acf-input">
<div class="acf-input-wrap"><input type="text" id="acf-field_5968834df2ac1" class="" name="acf[field_5968834df2ac1]" value="" placeholder="" /></div> </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="acf-form-submit">
<input type="submit" class="acf-button button button-primary button-large" value="Create a new event" /> <span class="acf-spinner"></span>
</div>
</form>
All I want is when you click on submit it writes the entry to the WP database and returns the value of this acf[field_5968834df2ac1] field using an echo.
Im trying to do that using this code:
<?php
$FirstName = $_POST['acf']['field_5968834df2ac1'];
echo 'data' . $FirstName; ?>
But that doesn’t give me any results. So my question was/is how do I get the value of this field when I clicked on submit and the page reloads.
Here is my whole code:
<?php acf_form_head(); ?>
<?php /* Template name: Nieuwe Collega's */ get_header(); ?>
<?php session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = $_POST['acf']['field_5968834df2ac1'];
?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php acf_form(array(
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'db_test',
'post_status' => 'publish'
),
'submit_value' => 'Create a new event',
// 'return' => '/wp-content/themes/intranetpuur/includes/new-employee.php'
)); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
$FirstName = $_POST['acf']['field_5968834df2ac1'];
echo 'data' . $FirstName;
echo $_SESSION['foo'];
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
