Hello

I used data picker for my website but It shows January 1 1970, Could you please help me what to do.

the code which I used is:
<?php

$date = get_field(‘exhibitionstartdate’);

$y = substr($date, 0, 4);
$m = substr($date, 4, 2);
$d = substr($date, 6, 2);

$time = strtotime(“{$d}-{$m}-{$y}”);

echo date(‘F n Y’, $time);

?>

thanks a lot

Hi @th219,

When trying to create a PHP datetime object using the DatePicker field, it is recommended to use the following functions:

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('exhibitionstartdate'));
echo $date->format('d-m-Y');
