I'm trying to use WFB to update my database using PHP. I'm a fairly proficient mysql / php coder (though only procedural style, so I'm finding it a bit hard to dig into WFB's object-oriented code), but I can't get WFB to connect with my database.
WFB claims to make the connection directly. I can't make that work, but it's not really what I want anyway. Ideally, I'd like to intercept the field names and values actually submitted after the form has been successfully processed. Even if I could capture the HTML that comes back in the form of the "thank you!" message, I could take it from there.
I've got as far as finding a place in WFB (exported) file fbapp/phpformpage.cls.php where I might include a php file of my own making. It's at line 327, in function _DoProcessPostedData. My php insert wouldn't upset the flow of WFB's processing, but it would enable me to perform some extremely powerful background programming, which is what I want.
My problem is that I can't work out how to set a variable that enables me to access the field names and corresponding values. I imagine it might be something like $myData = FormPage::GetInstance(); But that certainly doesn't work, and you can probably spot the shortcomings in my object-oriented-programming-novice code immediately!
I really want to crack this problem. I like WFB a lot, and I have major plans for adding it to my workflow. Can anybody tell me how to do it?

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
