This example sets the post date using date and time fields on the form.

<?php
add_filter("gform_post_data", "set_post_date", 10, 3);      
function set_post_date($post_data, $form, $entry){
  //only do this when the form id is 23
  if($form["id"] != 23)
    return $post_data;

  //set post date to field on form if date provided; get from entry data
  //using a date field in mm/dd/yyyy format and a time field in 24 hour format
  $date_value = $entry["6"]; //pull the date value from the form data posted, field 6 on my form
  $time = $entry["7"]; //pull the time value from the form data posted, field 7 on my form
  //only change post date/time when a date has been chosen
  if (!empty($date_value))
  {
    if (empty($time))
    {
      //set default time
      $time_value = "00:00:00";
    }
    else
    {
      empty($time[0]) ? $time_hours = "00" : $time_hours = $time[0]; //pull hours out of array
      empty($time[1]) ? $time_minutes = "00" : $time_minutes = $time[1]; //pull minutes out of array
      $time_value = $time_hours . ":" . $time_minutes . ":00"; //add on seconds
    }
    //convert post date to the appropriate format so it will be inserted into the database
    $post_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($date_value . " " . $time_value));
    $post_data["post_date"] = $post_date; //set the post_date
  }
  return $post_data; //return the changed data to use when the post is created
}
?>
