I need to query the database to retrieve values to determine if a field is hidden or not. I have X amount of flights available and when they are fully taken, I need to hide the option to select a flight. Which file would i need to put this code in?

In exported files, you will find the html page that has the form itself. That is where you would apply your customizations. Change the file extension to .php (instead of .html) and then do your coding there. After you make your changes, when you add the form to your page, instead of using the iframe code that WFB provides, you will need to link directly to the form.

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

Hi, Ok great thanks - additionally, I need to hide a certain field based on the query result - where could I put in this code within the actual form fields? I'll need to put in a php condition around the specific field with the form.

I do mine this way.
Do you mysql query then I apply the for each loop to an in line style in the head of the page. This way allows you to easily apply it to several different CLASS or ID's.
otherwise an if statement can do the job.
Now all you need to do is enter the proper CLASS or ID in the area of the form to hide it.

<style>
<?php
foreach($result as $row) {
echo '.myclass'.$row['mycolumn'].'{';
echo 'display:none;';
echo '}';
}
?>
</style>

foreach($result as $row) {
echo '.myclass'.$row['mycolumn'].'{';
echo 'display:none;';
echo '}';
}

<?php

Great thanks Eric. Another question: I need to add in dynamic content within the form below the header. Which file do I edit to add the php code into? Thanks - Is it possible to add in php within form builder in the HTML box?

Yes you can add php code to an html box. Any dynamic content driven by php would be added to the myformname.html page.

If you add php code to the html page, you need to make sure that either (1) you enable your server to parse php within html pages or (2) rename .html to .php.

Hi, I've added this to the HTML element in the form builder:
<script><?php echo "hello world"; ?></script>
<h1>
here
</h1>
Its not resolving any php? Is there something I need to do elsewhere?

Make sure your not viewing the form through the iframe code that the form builder provides. Remove the script thats wrapped around it.
otherwise try this.
Add this line to your .htaccess page in the root of your site.
