I am issuing certificates to people who complete interactive courses I've created with FormidableForms. The plug-in I'm using to create and send the PDF certificates lets me add info from FormidableForms just using the field ID. Where do I find the field ID # for the date the form is submitted? The submission button doesn't show me an ID #. Thanks for your help! Todd

Hi Todd, did you ever find an answer to that question? I need to get access to the submission date (or "created_at" field)'s value in PHP as well.

There is no field ID for the submission date unless you've added a date to the form to capture the date. Submission date is found in the entry's header record in the frm_items table. Formidable provides the [created-at] shortcode to display the entry's date.
BTW, the [created-at] shortcode is found on the advanced panel in the view editor.

replied 1 year ago Thank you, Victor. Any idea how to retrieve the submission date using PHP?
You can use the global $wpdb object to execute a SQL statement" SELECT created_at FROM frm_items WHERE id = '999'. Change 999 to the entry ID.
