The below example codes will trim (remove any whitespace at the start and end of a value). This makes sure any spaces a user entered at the start or end are removed before processing.
Insert the below PHP code in your child theme functions.php file, or create a custom plugin. You may also use a plugin that allows you to insert code snippets to your site.
add_filter('super_before_sending_email_data_filter', '_super_trim_values', 10, 2);
function _super_trim_values($data, $atts){
// REPLACE 123 WITH YOUR FORM ID
$id = 123;
// DEFINE FIELD NAMES TO TRIM
$fieldNames = array(
'first_name',
'last_name',
'email'
);
$form_id = absint($atts['post']['form_id']); // contains the form ID that was submitted
if($form_id==$id){
foreach($fieldNames as $name){
if(isset($data[$name]) && !empty($data[$name]['value'])){
$data[$name]['value'] = trim($data[$name]['value']);
}
}
}
return $data;
}
add_filter('super_before_sending_email_data_filter', '_super_trim_all_values', 10, 2);
function _super_trim_all_values($data, $atts){
foreach($data as $k => $v){
if(isset($data[$k]['value'])) {
$data[$k]['value'] = trim($data[$k]['value']);
}
}
return $data;
