When a student attempts a quiz, I need to access the date that a student enrolled in the course. This is for a small hack to control the frequency of quiz attempts.

How do I access the enrollment date?

I am using the Paypal enrollment plugin.

I want to call this variable from the file:
/mod/quiz/attempt.php

I figure I can do this hack in two different ways:

1) set a flag if enough time has not passed between enrollment and the quiz attempt; TOOSOON = ( time_enrolled(student) + interval ) > timenow();

2) I can timestamp the last quiz attempt variable when the student enrolls. This is a little more difficult. I don't know if just timestamping variable lastattempt will work by itself. There may need to be a quiz taking function called and returned with valid values to keep records lined up aside from just the time of the last attempt.
