Custom formats
In case of a custom format, please check out our two following examples. Please note also that the $timestamp parameter should be a UNIX timestamp.- If you have added to your content type (for example) the field_event_date with Date (Unix timestamp), you should use the function format_date as follows in your node template:
format_date($node-> field_event_date['und'][0]['value'], 'custom', 'D, d M Y');- If you have added to your content type (for example) the field_event_date with Date (ISO format), you should use the function format_date as follows in your node template:
format_date(strtotime($node-> field_event_date['und'][0]['value']), 'custom', 'D, d M Y');Regrading the PHP date formats 'D, d M Y', please check this documentation page http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.date.php
