public DateFormatterInterface::format($timestamp, $type = 'medium', $format = '', $timezone = NULL, $langcode = NULL)
Formats a date, using a date type or a custom date format string.
Parameters
int $timestamp: A UNIX timestamp to format.
string $type: (optional) The format to use, one of:
- One of the built-in formats: 'short', 'medium', 'long', 'html_datetime', 'html_date', 'html_time', 'html_yearless_date', 'html_week', 'html_month', 'html_year'.
- The name of a date type defined by a date format config entity.
- The machine name of an administrator-defined date format.
- 'custom', to use $format.
Defaults to 'medium'.
string $format: (optional) If $type is 'custom', a PHP date format string suitable for input to date(). Use a backslash to escape ordinary text, so it does not get interpreted as date format characters.
string|null $timezone: (optional) Time zone identifier, as described at http://php.net/manual/timezones.php Defaults to the time zone used to display the page.
string|null $langcode: (optional) Language code to translate to. NULL (default) means to use the user interface language for the page.
Return value
string A translated date string in the requested format. Since the format may contain user input, this value should be escaped when output.
