Hey there guys,

I’m using the PHP DateTime object from Date Piker Value and I would like the output date to be in spanish.

/*
*  Create PHP DateTime object from Date Piker Value
*  this example expects the value to be saved in the format: yymmdd (JS) = Ymd (PHP)
*/
 
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('date_picker'));
echo $date->format('d-m-Y');

Any directions or example code would be very much appreciated,

thanks!

Hi @angel.meraz

Thanks for the question. A previous topic covers this pretty well:
http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/date-picker-language-front-end/

Let me know how you find that article.

THanks

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Implementation is really easy, this is what I ended up uisng:

$date = date_i18n("l d F, Y", strtotime(get_field('date_picker')));
echo $date;

Cheers!
