    Hello, so this is my second thread asking for help, but it’s a little different from the other one.

    So, wanted to know, to my knowledge HTML forms have a submit action/button but Forminator doesn’t, why is that, and can I use $_POST / $_GET from PHP to check if the form is submitted?

    Also, how do I get each field’s value if not with $_POST[‘name-of-that-field’]?

    Hello @koulouridis !

    Hope you’re doing well today!

    Please avoid creating additional tickets in case the questions are related to the same topic as this is not inline with this support forum’s guidelines and may cause a review by the moderators.

    Regarding the question itself – what you’ve described there is a basic HTML form which can’t have any of the additional options that modern form plugins provide. It will also not work in current environments with caching, won’t be resistant to spam etc.

    The main reason for the filter/action model Forminator is using are all of the added features and support for Ajax requests which allow to use the form on sites with caching. This is also the way modern plugins are coded in WordPress to take advantage of the features provided by WordPress and to allow further extensibility.

    Regarding getting the field values the correct way, that’s been explained in the other ticket you have here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/forminator-api-submit-form/

    Best regards,
    Pawel
