    If you are writing a custom hook for FormIt and want to be able to pass it variables in the FormIt tag like this:

    [[!FormIt?
   &hooks=`myCustomHook,spam,email,redirect`
   &myVariable1=`5`
   &myVariable2=`10`
]]


    Then you can access the variables in the hook code like this:

    $myVariable1= $modx->event->params['myVariable1'];
$myVariable2= $modx->event->params['myVariable2'];


    It took me a few hours to find that out. Hope it saves you some time.

      like in any other snippet, you can get the properties with the $scriptProperties - array, in a formit-hook-snippet.

      $myVariable1 = $modx->getOption('myVariable1', $scriptProperties, '');
        -------------------------------

        you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

        I knew there'd be another way!!!
