Wordpress ACF - Date format

Question

I am using the date field to render out the date to look like: 11/15/2014. But I want to also display the date like November 15, 2014 else where on the page. Is it somehow possible to render out the date in two different formats?

<?php the_field('date'); ?>

Answer 1

You can use get_field and then you can change the date format to whatever you want.

$date = get_field('date');
$date2 = date("F j, Y", strtotime($date));
