    copied!<p>A common way I handle things in Drupal is to create a CCK type, and then create a custom submit handler to perform logic on the CCK fields when the node is submitted. However, I have been unable to get the value when the CCK field type is a Date field because the array is structured differently.</p> <p>UPDATE - João Guilherme had a much simpler approach, but I still couldn't get the date value out of the array posted below.</p> <pre><code>$fromDate = $form['field_bill_start'][0]['#value']; drupal_set_message('&lt;pre&gt;'. print_r($fromDate, TRUE) .'&lt;/pre&gt;'); //Which then prints this. Array ( [value] =&gt; Array ( [date] =&gt; Tue, 08/24/2010 ) ) </code></pre> <p>I then tried adding these which printed null. I also tried the "#" before date and value.</p> <pre><code>['value']['date'] </code></pre> <p>*************************Original Post**********************************</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php function billing_form_billing_node_form_alter(&amp;$form, &amp;$form_state) { //drupal_set_message('We are hooking it!'); $form['#submit'][] = 'billing_submit_function'; } function billing_submit_function($form, &amp;$form_state) { $fromDatePRE = array(); $fromDatePRE[] = $form['field_bill_start'][0]['value']['date']; $fromDate[] = $fromDatePRE[0]['#value']['#date']; drupal_set_message('&lt;pre&gt;'. print_r($fromDatePRE[0], TRUE) .'&lt;/pre&gt;'); drupal_set_message("From Date = ".$fromDate[0]); drupal_set_message("From Date2 = ".$fromDatePRE[0]); </code></pre> <p><b> $fromDate is printing the first character "S" of Sat 8/21/2010 which is the value I want </b>, but I want the whole value.
