Connecting to a MariaDB Database

    Hey there,

    I am currently developing a website hosted on my raspberry Pi in which I use forminator to create a ‘registration’ form for new users. Basically, I want to take the submissions from this registration form as they are submitted, and insert them into a database hosted on the raspberry pi aswell. The database is named ‘docdash’ and the relevant table is ‘registration’ and i created these using the MariaDB protocol via normal MySQL syntax on my raspberry pi command line interface.

    I really need help with this as soon as possible so I would appreciate any input! I have a very basic understanding of php, however, I understand that I may be required to use a php script to achieve this and I am happy to do that.

    Thanks heaps in advance!!! (I didnt link the site as its hosted and only accessible over my LAN).

    Hi @pikau

    I hope you are doing well today.

    I pinged our SLS Team so that they can review your query and see what will be possible in this case. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

    Please keep in mind that our SLS Team deals with more complicated issues, so it may take a little longer for them to reply here. Thank you for your patience while we look into this further.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris

    Hey @wpmudevsupport13

    Thank you so much for the reply!

    I was just wondering how long the general ETA is… as the project is due in 24 hours. I apologise for the short notice and I understand if no help is available in that timeframe.

    Cheers,

    pikau.

    Hi @pikau

    I hope you are doing well.

    We checked this for you but it will require some custom coding indeed, Forminator has some hooks that are called after the entry is saved, using that hook along a function to get the data from the Forminator table you can connect to an external database and make an insert command.

    There is a similar case here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/data-inserting-to-database-even-when-form-is-invalid/#post-16888661

    That code can be used as a starter code.

    Best Regards
