GetDateValue

string
CForm::GetDateValue(
 int answer_id,
 array answer,
 mixed form_values = false
)

If the array, passed in the parameter form_values, is initialized (for example, when editing the [link= 6660053#result]result[/link]), the method returns current value of the "date" type [link= 6660053#answer]answer[/link], which ID is passed in the parameter answer_id.

If the array, passed in the parameter form_values, is not initialized (for example, when creating new [link= 6660053#result]result[/link]), the method returns default value for this answer (i. e. the value specified in the answer["VALUE"]).

Non-static method.
