$WhateverYourDateFieldIs.Format(F Y h:i:s A)
EDIT: If you are trying to return the current time and date, the easiest way would probably be to write a function in the controller of page.php
function showTime(){
return date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');
}and call $showTime where ever in the template.
You can also use the $Now var in templates (which is a DateObject) to return the current date. See http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=date for the range of formatting options with $Now
How do you insert a date on a page to show when it was last updated?
$LastEdited
You can also specify the date format, e.g:
$LastEdited.Format(d M Y h:i a)
If you want to use a comma (,) in your date field, see this thread:
