I tried adding this to query a custom post type and it gives an odd timestamp 01 January 1970:

<?php
$date = get_field('fromdate', false, false);
// convert it to a time
$time = strtotime($date);

if ( get_query_var('paged') ) $paged = get_query_var('paged');  
if ( get_query_var('page') ) $paged = get_query_var('page');

$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'events', 'posts_per_page' => 20,  'order' => 'ASC' ) ); 

if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
        
        while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?> 

<div class='events-title'>
<span class="day"><?php echo date('d', $time); ?></span>
<span class="month"><?php echo date('F', $time); ?></span>
<span class="year"><?php echo date('Y', $time); ?></span>
</div>

   <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();

else : ?>
        
        <p>There are no events at the moment</p>

<?php endif;?>

The dateformat is set up to return Ymd.
