    I've ended up with snippets in my chunk to populate some fields on an update db eForm - I seem to be having inconsistent results wherever I try to use placeholders. The form values seem to work but a hidden "key" id (the id to update) doesn't seem to be working. Just wondered if this is a known issue or more likely me doing something wrong!?

    I think indeed eForm and PHx don't get along so well. (No such issues in Revo with Formit and output filters though, the native version of PHx.)

    thanks Ryan, it turned out I needed to put the primary key into the update rather than in the posted $field values, seems to be working now

    		// Run the db update query
		$dbQuery = $modx->db->update($dbTable, 'modx_table_name', "id=".$myid." AND userid=".$myuserid);


    ..just need to try format and validate a date of birth now from eform into the db and back for populating..

    I do need to start using Revo, but I'm reluctant at the moment as I'm using quite a lot of addons. I've tried it out and it seems great!
