Usign hooks (acf_submit_form) with multiple different forms

I would like to create different handlers for different forms, how can I have different forms handeled different ways?

Right now I have a function:

function my_acf_submit_form( $form, $post_id ) {
handling stuff here
}
add_action('acf/submit_form', 'my_acf_submit_form', 10, 2);

This handles one form. Now I want to create a new front end form, can I identify the form that is handeled – how? I could use if-clauses inside the above function if I could identify from what form is the data coming?

I need to handle the data after user has submitted the form and the data is saved, that’s why I’m using the hook my_acf_submit_form.

Hi Hidieh:

You can use the id parameter (one of the arguments passed to acf_form) to create a unique id for each of your forms. In your function triggered by the submit form action then use the global for acf_form to retrieve the ID value ($GLOBALS[‘acf_form’]).

See Elliot’s responses in this thread (though the original question is different from what you are asking) for more detail:

Hope this is helpful!
