struct
SUBFORM
Note: When data extraction using the
the extraction returns one structure per page.
The difference in structure reflects internal rules applied by Acrobat for the HTTP post submission.
To extract the data from the HTTP post submission and update a database with the information, for example, map the
database columns to the form fields, as the following code shows:
<cfquery name="updateEmpInfo" datasource="cfdocexamples">
UPDATE EMPLOYEES
SET FIRSTNAME = "#FORM1.SUBFORM.HEADER.TXTFIRSTNAME#",
LASTNAME = "#FORM1.SUBFORM.HEADER.TXTLASTNAME#",
DEPARTMENT = "#FORM1.SUBFORM.HEADER.TXTDEPTNAME#",
IM_ID = "#FORM1.SUBFORM.TXTEMAIL#",
PHONE = "#FORM1.SUBFORM.HEADER.TXTPHONENUM#"
WHERE EMP_ID = <cfqueryparam value="#FORM1.SUBFORM.TXTEMPID#">
</cfquery>
You can set a variable to create a shortcut to the field names, as the following code shows:
<cfset fields=#form1.subform.header#>
Use the tag to display the form data:
cfoutput
struct
HEADER struct
HTTPSUBMITBUTTON1
TXTDEPTNAME
TXTFIRSTNAME
TXTLASTNAME
TXTPHONENUM
TXTEMPID 1
TXTEMAIL carolynp@company
