Send Data to Custom URL

This feature acts like a webhook, and allows you to send the form data in a structured format to another URL, which could be on another site. This is not the same as redirecting the user to another URL.

send_data_custom_url

This setting will send all our form data to the URL http://example.com/handler.php each time a user submits the form. To test if this is working, we could use this snippet of code in the handler.php file:

<?php
file_put_contents('test.txt', json_encode($_REQUEST) );
?>

For the POST (JSON) method, use this code:

<?php
file_put_contents('test.txt', file_get_contents('php://input') );
?>

If our code worked, a file named test.txt would be created with content like:

{"Entry_ID":"360","Name":"Jack Brown","Age":"32"}
