Sorry but I’m not having luck with getting the date formatting to work, referring to the datepicker documentation page.

http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/

Here’s my code:

if(get_field('deadline'))
	{
	echo '<li><strong>Deadline: </strong>' . get_field('deadline') . '</li>';
	}	

I was trying this but end up with a blank page:

if(get_field('deadline'))
	{
        $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('deadline'));
	echo '<li><strong>Deadline: </strong>' . $date->format('d-m-Y') . '</li>';
	}	

Thanks for any help!
