have you looked at the php date function? http://php.net/date or you
can do what I did and make a custom helper function that allows one to
custom format dates. like
function niceShort($date_string, $format='l j F Y', $return = false) {
$timestamp = $this->Time->toUnix($date_string);
return($this->output(date($format,$timestamp),$return));
//code here
} // END function
this is 'my' version of the niceShort helper that is in the Time
helper (notice I use some functions from that helper. I found that I
was doing this enough that I extended the function for my own use.
This should give you a starting point ;)
