You can use the PHP <strong>date()</strong> function to convert the numeric birth date to words.

It requires custom code and using hooks, filters to read form values and populate others using code.</p> <p>There isn't a quick and easy guide as what you want to do is pretty specific. We can provide you with what hooks you would use and a high overview of what you would need to do, but we can't write the custom code for you.</p> <p>As with your other question, how skilled are you with PHP and do you know how to use WordPress hooks, actions and filters? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/automatically-calculating-age-in-words-as-per-user-input#post-19387 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 06:38:18 +0000 Vivek Saini 19387@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a school registration form in which there is a date picker for selecting date of birth, there are two more fields in the registration form which should be automatically filled </p> <p>Date of Birth (in Words) and<br /> Age as on 1st April, 2011<br /> Now these two fields should be automatically filled as per user input on date of birth. </p> <p>Could some one please guide me how to do this?</p> <p>Form URL = <a href="http://www.ppischool.com/admissions/online-registration-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ppischool.com/admissions/online-registration-2/</a></p> <p>Thanks &amp; Regards<br /> Vivek<br /> Deecoup </p>
