By default the Locale for CakePHP 3 is en_US so dates display as m/d/y
# config/app.php
'App' => [
'namespace' => 'App',
'encoding' => env('APP_ENCODING', 'UTF-8'),
'defaultLocale' => env('APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE', 'en_US'),
'base' => false,
Which makes dates come out like this:
But I live in the land down under where women glow and men plunder. So I would like my dates to be correctly backwards as they should be. (d/m/y)
'App' => [
'namespace' => 'App',
'encoding' => env('APP_ENCODING', 'UTF-8'),
'defaultLocale' => env('APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE', 'en_AU'),
'base' => false,
works thanks for that, took ages to find out why the dates were formated strange.
Glad I could help. I was getting really annoyed having the replace every date with an echo $this->Time->format($time_here, 'd/m/y'); statement could have saved a lot of a mucking around.
