try something like this:

put this at the top of the node.tpl.php or wherever you need it...

<?php format_date($node->created, 'custom', 'D M d Y') ?>

On my theme Connections, I need to have the date styled differently. It should be: day date month year, Wed Dec 14 2005 or D M d(or j) Y

I have no idea what to change, or how to change it. (I have a funny feeling that template.php plays a roll in this.)

While I would have loved to come up with an answer on my own, I don't think I can. The documentation in the handbook is poor.

The function in the api is at http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/format_date

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with this.
