Hi,

I want use variable variables with inner variables like @@, @# and etc,
For example I have two variable @@test_1=1 and @@test_2=2,
Like this code:

Code: Select all

//in php
$i=1;
$temp = 'test_'.$i;
echo $$temp;

//in processmaker
$i=1;
$temp = '@@test_'.$i;
echo $$temp;

How can I do this?
Thanks

You can't use ProcessMaker variables that way.

You can do is this in a trigger, which is similar:

Code: Select all

$i=1;
$varName = 'test_'.$i;

$c = new Cases();
$aCase = $c->loadCase(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX);
if (isset($aCase['APP_DATA'][$varName])) {
   $val = $aCase['APP_DATA'][$varName];
   echo $val; 
} 

Or in a plugin, you can load a case this way:

Code: Select all

$aCase = $c->loadCase($_SESSION['APPLICATION'], $_SESSION['INDEX']);
 

Just remember that the variable test_1 must already be saved to the database in the APPLICATION.APP_DATA field when you call Cases::loadCase(). If you call this immediately after a dynaform which sets the variable test_1, then it hasn't yet been saved to the database. It is best to set your trigger to fire before the next step in the task or the before assignment, if the Dynaform is the last step in the task, so that the variables are already saved in the database. The other workaround is to call PMFSendVariables or Cases::updateCase() to save the variable to the database before using the above code.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.

Hi,

Thanks for your way. But I think if processmaker create an internal function for get a variable with variable name string, It would be a good idea.
