Format date in Symfony

I want to format the created_at field date from the original to something like 15h33 12/01/2012 to be shown in the indexSuccess.php.

Could you help me?

If you are using Propel rather then Doctrine then you can do this kind of thing:

$model->getCreatedAt('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Which is fabulously simple! Sadly Doctrine 1.2 doesn't implement this. I haven't used Doctrine2 so not sure whether you can do it with that.

You can also use the Date helper like this in your view :

<?php use_helper('Date'); ?>
<?php echo format_date($comment->getCreatedAt(), 'dd-MM-yyyy, HH:mm'); ?>

In your actions script you want to do something like:

$createdAt = strtotime($dbResults['created_at']);

$this->createdAt = date('H\hi m/d/Y', $createdAt);

Then just reference the available createdAt in your template:

<div>Created at: <?php echo $createdAt?></div>

More date formatting options can be found at the PHP date Api docs.
