[development] problem with custom date and timezones

[Lluís]

Making some research my problem is with format date:

$node->data_assentament -> 1247781600
date("d-m-Y H:i", $node->data_assentament) -> 17-07-2009 00:00
format_date($node->data_assentament,'medium') -> Dij, 07/16/2009 - 22:00

(I need the date in dd/mm/YYYY format)

Should I avoid format_date() or there is a better way to solve this?
