Hi,

I have 2 pagebreaks fields and a final submit button on my form.

I have a script called on form process that creates a file. The issue I have is that the file is created 3 times because the script is called at every page break and the final Submit. I want the file to be created only when the Submit button is pressed. The file will be used in the User email.

How can I identify the third occurrence to trigger the php creation of the file?

Hello,

This is caused by the fact that you have the "Validate When Changing Page?" option set to "Yes". This will performed a validation for the page fields using an AJAX call, the "Scripts called on form process" will also be triggered on this call.
In order to avoid this when changing pages there's an $isAjax variable available, you can try adding an if clause to the script used to generate the file:

if(!$isAjax && !$invalid) {

// .. your file generating script here

}

This way the script will be triggered only when the submit button is used and no validation errors are encountered.

Another option would be to move the script that generates the file from the PHP Scripts > Scripts called on form process area to the PHP Email Scripts > Script called before the User Email is sent., this way the script will only be triggered when the user email is sent out. You can read more on this scripting area here:

I've used your second option. Thanks a lot.
