Change date formatting in date element

[king_ray]

Hello,

Is there anyone who can tell me how I change the date format for an element i use in a form.
The default dat formatting in the form is 2007-04-20 and I would like to change this to 20-04-2007.

Thanx in advance.

Ray

For the date format, you should just be able to set the format string on the date element parameters, using the standard format strings from:

http://us2.php.net/date

I'll have to get back to you on the defaulting to "today".

Is it only possible to set this format at the php level? The problem I have is that I use a shared server and the same php deals with different language instalations....

If there is a way of doing it at Fabrik that would be better.

There should be a "date format" parameter on the element admin page. That's what I was referring to. It uses the standard PHP notation for date string formatting, as per that page I pointed at.

Date format

Good day
I just do not get the me the date appears in the following formation (d.m.Y H: m). I use the PHP form.

<td height="30" align="left" valign="top"> <? php echo $ _REQUEST ['tisch___datum'];?>

How should the code look like?
Sorry for my bad English
