format date with field date

[Anon]

Hello.
Why I use function date with date field but year show '1970'

Sample.
field ins_date = '17/06/2001'

date("d m Y", ins_date") -----> 01/01/1970

Try this :
$ins_date = mktime(0,0,0,substr($ins_date,0,2),substr($ins_date,3,2),substr($ins_date,6,4));
date("d m Y", $ins_date);

I haven't tested it but I think it'll work.
