TOPIC: Need _POST info for multi select dropdown from SQL

Need _POST info for multi select dropdown from SQL 9 months 5 days ago #43595

I have a form with a dropdown field name Students that is populated from code that populates the items array with a numeric id as the value, and a name as the label. That all works correctly. When the form is submitted, my mappings are pushing the data into the correct database fields. When I select multiple objects from this dropdown, the data is inserted as number-comma-space-number-comma-space-number. I am needing to eliminate the spaces so what is inserted is just number-comma-number-comma-number. I need '5,10,15' but what I am getting is '5, 10, 15' instead. I am trying to create a Script called on form process to do a str_replace to replace the spaces with nothing. I don't seem to be able to determine what the $_POST syntax is for this variable. I have tried $_POST , $_POST[0] , and $_POST[index]. I have tried setting all 3 of these variables to something unique in the script just to see if the variable works, but none of them do.

Does anyone have an idea what variable I should be using to update the POST data?

Had to remind myself how to deal with arrays in RSform, try this:
// Get the sequence from the POST data
    $sequence = $_POST['form']['your_field_name'][0];
 
    // Remove all spaces from the sequence
    $cleaned_sequence = str_replace(' ', '', $sequence);
 
    $_POST['form']['your_field_name'][0] = $cleaned_sequence;
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you obviously don't understand the situation!
