Help formatting date.

[info63]

Hello Everyone,

I am having problems trying to figure out a way to properly format the date for legal forms. A lot of tax forms have dates formats that are a bit unconventional (field wise).

For example:

The Texas State Assignment of right to refund form has the following field:

“Executed ______ day of __________ , 20 _________.”

which would be entered:

“Executed ___10___ day of _____May_____ , 20 ____09_____.”

Does anyone know of a way I can populate this field with the current date?

Thanks a bunch!

Chris W.

Create three mappings using the Formidable: Dynamic setting found at the bottom of the “Webform Data Field ID” dropdown on the field map layout along with PHP date function like this… change [123] to your date field;

1st Field Map, for “DAY” we use…
[123 format=”jS”]
(Where ‘j’ is the number date without leading zeros and ‘S’ provides the letters “st”, “nd”, “rd”)

2nd Field Map, for “MONTH” we use…
[123 format=”F”]
(Where ‘F’ provides the full month in words)

3rd Field Map, for “YEAR” we use…
[123 format=”Y”]
(Where ‘Y’ provides the four digit year)

We remain at your service.

Thank you.

That worked!

Is there any way to trim the 20 off the year?

ie 05 instead of 2005

Thanks!

As linked above, you can use any of the parameters found on this PHP Date Functions page. Two year is ‘y’
