How to assign value to a field in PHP code?

Applications Forms
#1

Hi Friends,

I have a problem assigning a value to a field.

Normally, under an event such as On Load, I can assign a value to field like

{Customer} = “John”;

and when run that field will show “John” when run.

But when I have a Button on a form that invokes PHP codes. I put

{Customer} = “John”;

in the php code section of that Button.

Now when run, I press that button, the I expect {Customer} field to get value “John” but instead I got nothing.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

The button will run some code and then show an ok button as buttons are meant to be used to create little processes. But there’s a trick although it requires some work.

in the customer field description set initial value to [glob_cust];
in the button set the [glob_cust] to the value you need; then do a sc_redir to the same application.
