How to capture POST data with contact form7

I have this hook in my functions.php:

add_action( 'wpcf7_mail_sent', 'myfunction' );

I want to post the values when the form is sent.

I have a field like this: [textarea your-message].

How do i capture the POST data from this?

for example when the form is sent i want to echo the post value of [textarea your-message] in myfunction(){}

Solution

  • You need to access the $WPCF7_ContactForm object.

    In your hooked function, you'd access the field you want like this:

    yourFunction(&$WPCF7_ContactForm) {
    $text_area_contents = $WPCF7_ContactForm->posted_data['your-message'];
}
