Date format in custom field

Hi,
I created the custom field ‘date-of-birth’, with definition of a ‘date’ format. But this date format requires a format we are not used to. Did someone prepare an alternative version?

Current requirements:
format dd/mm/yyyy
where leading zeroes are not acceptable (for day and month)

My preferences:
format dd-mm-yyyy
where leading zeroes are acceptable

If you can run PHP on the place where you need output, you can easy reformat with code like:

echo date("your format here", strtotime("your dd/mm/yyyy date"));

Just set need format, as per “date format” rules.

I need it in my registration form… don’t know where to put it…

OK, try to set date in “General settings” of the site.
