Validation and then redirect

I’m attempting my first shot at using eForm. For the most part, I think I understand how to use it. The only piece I’m missing is how I can redirect once validation is done. Here’s the flow of what I need to happen:

• User fills in form and submits
• Form is validated with custom validation
• If validation checks out, then redirect to a new site with form values attached as the querystring

My questions:

• Would I do the redirect as part of my validation snippet? Or should I write a separate snippet for that?
• Finally, is there a specific way I need to do the redirect within the MODx system?

Thank you!

I suspect that you will need to use a snippet and eForm’s &eFormOnValidate event. See the documentation in the eForm’s snippet directory (assets/snippets/eform/docs) for examples on how to create such a snippet.

Thanks Susan. Do you know though if there’s a different function call within MODx that I should use for redirects instead of the PHP function "header"?

I appreciate your help!

Check out the $modx->sendRedirect API function.
