   I am passing session variables (username and email) to automatically set the default values for two elements.

   Is there any reason this process works when using the standard form code and not via the advanced? And yes I am doing the session_start().

   Hi Tia,

   Why you don't use "default value" options when edit the form rather than create a custom code ? I think it's much easier.

   This is on a wordpress blog. I am auto populating a single line text and an email element with the info for the logged in user.

   Are you saying when building the form for the default value I can just put the variable in there? I am doing it this way because that is how yall told me a year ago!

   Here is my previous thread. I never got the variables working using the advance code, only through the standard.

   in view-functions if i place

   echo $_REQUEST['id'];

   it will print the form ID for a form added the standard iframe way but nothing when inserted the advanced php way. is there another variable used when added via php which would distinguish which form it is?

   as a temp fix, since i only need\have one form up at a time, i removed the logic of determining which form it is and only care about which element it is.

   Ah .. I see, advance embed code do not recognize "$_REQUEST['id']" code indeed. You need to determine what is your form id with custom code. To do so, you can use a session variable, you already have advance embed code like this :

   <?php
   	require("C:/path/machform.php");
   	$mf_param['form_id'] = 1;
   	$mf_param['base_path'] = 'http://yourdomain.com/machform/';
   	display_machform($mf_param);
   ?>

   then, add a session variable to be like this

   <?php
   	require("C:/path/machform.php");
   	$mf_param['form_id'] = 1;
   	$_SESSION['sess_form_id'] = 1;
   	$mf_param['base_path'] = 'http://yourdomain.com/machform/';
   	display_machform($mf_param);
   ?>

   after that, add an "or" condition to your "view-function.php" like this

   if(($_REQUEST['id'] == 1 || $_SESSION['sess_form_id'] == 1 ) && ($element->id == 3)){
   $element->default_value = $_SESSION['your_session_var'];
   }
