1. create a custom field, say “Loan Purpose” in the Leads module. In my forms, I’ll call this “loanpurpose”
2. Using phpmyadmin, browse to the Table: vtiger_leadscf
3. Look at the custom field name for the field in question – mine was called cf_453 This is the field name to be used in webforms.php
4. The name cf_453 only needs to be used in webforms.php, for the other files, call it something friendly – here I used loanpurpose.
5. assign like this:

index.php: add the field name loanpurpose to the line starting with: function create_lead_from_webform
In my implementation, used a drop down list in the form like this:

<tr><th>Loan Purpose:</th>
     <td><select name="loanpurpose">
     <option value="Purchase">Purchase</option>
     <option value="Refi - Rate,Term">Refi - Rate,Term</option>
     <option value="Refi - Cash-out">Refi - Cash-out</option>
     <option value="Second">Second</option>
     <option value="Other">Other</option>
     </select></td>
     </tr>

send_data.php: add the line(s) for the new field

'loanpurpose'=>"$loanpurpose"

webforms.php: Add in both places:

if($_REQUEST['create'] == 'lead') function:
     $loanpurpose = $_POST['loanpurpose'];

and at

$params = array(
     $focus->column_fields['cf_453'] = $loanpurpose; *<-- this is where the new form value gets mapped to the custom field ID.*

Any errors encountered will be from typo's, missing "." or "," after the new field entries, wrong field names or a missing addition - look for where the other fields are passed and that is the best start for troubleshooting.
