Is the issue with strtotime or Gravity Forms? strtotime is a core PHP function and not a function of Gravity Forms itself. Are you trying to transform the date that Gravity Forms stores in the custom field and display it in a different format? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-display-localization#post-41544 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:31:07 +0000 snoop 41544@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a form which allows users to make posts. The form also uses custom field variable which is formed with date picker. I'm using the below code to display this date on the frontend.</p> <p><code>&lt;?php $key = &quot;custom-date&quot;; echo $display_date = date(&#39;j. F Y&#39;, strtotime(get_meta($key))); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>The problem I have is that strtotime is using English names of the months. Is there any way I can replace them with custom names (local)? </p>
