Ok have found a bit of time to try and get my head round extracting elements of the date picker value.

However this code

<?php 
 
	$date = get_field('course_date');
	// $date = 19881123 (23/11/1988)
 
	// extract Y,M,D
	$y = substr($date, 0, 4);
	$m = substr($date, 4, 2);
	$d = substr($date, 6, 2);
 
	// create UNIX
	$time = strtotime("{$d}-{$m}-{$y}");
 
	// format date (23/11/1988)
	 
	?>
	<div class="calendar">
	<p class="calendarDate"><span class="dow"><?php echo date('D' ); ?></span>
		<span class="day"><?php echo date('d'); ?> <br /><?php echo date('M'); ?></span>
		<span class="year"><?php echo date('Y'); ?></span>
		</p>
		</div>

Outputs today’s date and not the date entered via Date Picker whose Field name is course_date.

If I used the code on http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/ I get the 1st Jan 1970 outputted.

A steer in the right direction would be a lifesaver. php version is 5.2.17
