string _`date_format` ( string *$format*, DateTime *$time* )
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Returns a formatted string that represents the time belonging to the DateTime
object $time.  

The format is the same as the format from the PHP date_ function:

.. _date: http://php.net/date

The next example::

    {date_format( "H:i:s", $time )}
    
Shows something like::
    
    08:09:53

Be aware that you have to send $time as a DateTime object, and not as an
integer timestamp.


string _`date_format_timestamp` ( string *$format* [, int *$timestamp*] )
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Returns a formatted string that represents the time. If no *$timestamp* is given then the 
current time will be returned, otherwise the time of the *$timestamp* will be returned. 

The format is the same as the format from the PHP date_ function:

.. _date: http://php.net/date

The next example::

    {date_format_timestamp( "H:i:s" )}
    
Shows something like::
    
    22:10:45


int _`date_current_timestamp` ()
````````````````````````````````
Returns the current timestamp. The timestamp is measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch 
(January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT)::

    {date_current_timestamp()}

Outputs something like the next line, but the number is probably higher::
    
    1147362767
