Register date

[LPH]

The register date is returning the string. How do I get this to show month, date, year? Do I try to wrap it in date()?

$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->toArray();

echo '<strong>Login Username</strong>: ' . $visitor['username'] . '<br />';
echo '<strong>User email</strong>: ' . $visitor['email'] . '<br />';
echo '<strong>Joined</strong>: ' . $visitor['register_date'] . '<br />';
echo '<strong>Messages</strong>: ' . $visitor['message_count'] . '<br />';
echo '<strong>Likes</strong>: ' . $visitor['like_count'] . '<br />';

Update: Something like this returns today's date in the format ... :

$visitor['register_date'] = date("D M j G:i:s T Y");
echo '<strong>Joined</strong>: ' . $visitor['register_date'] . '<br />';

Update: Head Smack !

$registration_date = date( "D M j Y", $visitor['register_date'] );
echo '<strong>Joined</strong>: ' . $registration_date . '<br />';
$last_date = date( "D M j Y", $visitor['last_activity'] );
echo '<strong>Last Activity</strong>: ' . $last_date . '<br />';

Even better - why use those variables???

echo '<strong>Joined</strong>: ' . date( "D M j Y", $visitor['register_date'] ) . '<br />';
echo '<strong>Last Activity</strong>: ' . date( "D M j Y", $visitor['last_activity'] ) . '<br />';

You might want to take a look at Locale.php:
XenForo_Locale::dateTime($visitor['register_date']);

If using it from a template you have:
{xen:datetime $user.register_date, html} or {xen:date $user.register_date} or <xen:datetime time="{$user.register_date}" />

You can set the Date Format in your language settings in the ACP

This was perfect:

XenForo_Locale::dateTime($visitor['register_date']);

Now I just need to figure out numbers needing a comma

$visitor['message_count']

Try xen:number.

Try xen:number.

This works

XenForo_Locale::numberFormat( $visitor['message_count'] )
