[Resolved] Using a custom function within a cred_save_data hook

I have a few forms that execute the same code via a cred_save_data_hook. If the code were to change in the future, rather than having to make multiple changes (and get them all the same), I'm looking at replacing the code with a custom function. I tested this with a very simple example like this:-

My Function:-

if ( ! function_exists( 'my_custom_function' ) ) {
    function my_custom_function() {
        
        $value = '2020';
        update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-my-test-field', $value);
    }
}

My CRED Hook:-

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_form_319',10,2);
function my_save_data_form_319($post_id, $form_data) {
    
    if ($form_data['id']==319) {
	
	   my_custom_function();
	}
}

I discovered though that $post_id isn't available to the function so the field isn't updated.

Am I looking to do something that's not possible?

Thanks

Hello,

You can pass var $post_id to your custom PHP function, for example:

...
function my_custom_function($post_id) {
...

So it DOES need to be passed to the inner function even though it's already been passed to the cred function?

Yes, you are right, it needs to be passed to the inner function even though it's already been passed to the cred function
