For anyone else wondering …
I needed to show long decimal latitude and longitude values (e.g. 53.234567) to 2dps on the front end (53.23).
This worked for me.
<?php
$output = get_field('latitude_metric');
$latitude = round($output, 2);
echo $latitude;
?>
Hope it’s of use.

No I haven’t used yymmdd as we need the day of the week to show too. Can I, using the entered data (DyyMd), “reconstruct” it as yymmdd and use that in the get_posts function?
Code now
<?php
$date = get_field('course_date');
// $date = WED2013NOV6 (23/11/1988)
// extract Y,M,D
$D = substr($date, 0, 3);
$y = substr($date, 3, 4);
$m = substr($date, 7, 3);
$d = substr($date, 10, 2);
// create UNIX
$time = strtotime("{$d}-{$m}-{$y}");
// format date (23/11/1988)
?>
<div class="calendar">
<p class="calendarDate"><span class="dow"><?php echo $D; ?></span>
<span class="day"><?php echo $d; ?> <br /><?php echo $m; ?></span>
<span class="year"><?php echo $y; ?></span>
</p>
</div>

How often does this happen…
Solution found
<?php
$date = get_field('course_date');
// $date = WED2013NOV6 (23/11/1988)
// extract Y,M,D
$D = substr($date, 0, 3);
$y = substr($date, 3, 4);
$m = substr($date, 7, 3);
$d = substr($date, 10, 2);
// create UNIX
$time = strtotime("{$d}-{$m}-{$y}");
// format date (23/11/1988)
?>
<div class="calendar">
<p class="calendarDate"><span class="dow"><?php echo $D; ?></span>
<span class="day"><?php echo $d; ?> <br /><?php echo $m; ?></span>
<span class="year"><?php echo $y; ?></span>
</p>
</div>
Outputs as I wish and all hunky-dory… just a final one… with the date format now saved as WED2013NOV6 … can I wort the courses into a dater ordered list? Or are you going to tell me to read the docs 🙂

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.
