Is there a way to use PHP to access past form submissions, say to loop through and get the value of a particular field on all submitted forms or get the last value submitted for a particular field? ---

The [_PHP GFAPI Class_](https://docs.gravityforms.com/category/developers/php-api/) is very useful for this. For querying entries, see specifically the documentation for [Searching and Getting Entries with the GFAPI](https://docs.gravityforms.com/searching-and-getting-entries-with-the-gfapi/). ---
