How to get value of Date field?

Hi.
I need to get the values of the submitted field values to use in my own script. I have this working by doing this:

$post_data['Phone'] = rgar($entry, '5');

This works fine. However, I have a Date field (3 fields split up into DD MM YYYY). How can I get the value of this?

The name/id of the DD field is: name=“input_12[]” id=“input_16_12_2”

Im trying things like:

$post_data['DOB'] = rgar($entry, 'input_16_12_2') . "/" . input_16_12_3 . "/" . input_16_12_4;

but no success.

So how can I get the value of these Date fields?
Thanks

It’s not the whole input_16_12_2 that’s being used for rgar(). If I’m not mistaken it should be used like this:

$post_data['DOB'] = rgar( $entry, '12.2' ) . "/" . rgar( $entry, '12.3' ) . "/" . rgar( $entry, '12.4' );

You can check what the contents of $entry (and through that get the correct names to use in rgar()) with this:

wp_die( '<pre>' . print_r( $entry, true ) . '</pre>' ); exit;

I usually use error_log (and remove the exit;) instead of wp_die btw, but for that you need to know where the logfiles of your hosting are stored.

Or you can use the built in Gravity Forms logging to do the same thing. Just add this to your code (equivalent to the above):

GFCommon::log_debug( __METHOD__ . '(): $entry => ' . print_r( $entry, true ) );
