Hi, You can specify the pattern to be used when building your form, but there is not working at this time or you have to modify the Symfony Core DateType field class, I've reported this bug here : http://trac.symfony-project.org/ticket/9736
Infos over the DateType field reference : http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/reference...ypes/date.html I give you the way I follow : in your form builder : <?php $builder->add('madate','date',array( 'pattern'=>'d-M-Y' // here the separator is a - ); ?> In the core DateType field class: \vendor\symfony\src\Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type \DateType.php Code to add after the $formatter in the beginning of the class, around line 38 : <?php if(!is_null($options['pattern'])) { $formatter->setPattern($options['pattern']); } ?> Don't forget that the pattern is based on the format option (by default MEDIUM) - have a look at the IntlDateFormatter PHP Class : http://php.net/manual/fr/class.intldateformatter.php -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
