Send repeater field data in Email on submit

Trying to generate and email when a user fills in the fields, all the field seems to be working except for the repeater fields.

I have:

   // check if the repeater field has rows of data
    if( have_rows($_POST['acf']['field_55378d1179797']) ):

      // loop through the rows of data
        while ( have_rows($_POST['acf']['field_55378d1179797']) ) : the_row();

            // display a sub field value
          $founders .= $founders_fname =      $_POST['acf']['field_55378d143c0d5']; 
          $founders .= '<br />';
          $founders .= $founders_lname =      $_POST['acf']['field_55378d143c718']; 
          $founders .= '<br />';
          $founders .= $founders_linkedin =   $_POST['acf']['field_55378d143cee5']; 
          $founders .= '<br />';
          $founders .= $founders_twitter =    $_POST['acf']['field_55378d143d6b4']; 
          $founders .= '<br />';
          $founders .=  $founders_cv =  $_POST['acf']['field_55378d143de89'];
          $founders .= '<br />';
          $founders .= '<br />';
 
        endwhile;

    else :

        // no rows found

    endif;

When I echo $founders in the email, I just get an empty field.

I believe that I shouldn’t be able to check if it has rows on submission, since there is no DB query at that time. when when I remove the row check I get a memory leak.

Any idea how to tackle this problem?

Try using the acf/save post hook and see this tutorial: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/
