 * Checkout PHP’s documentation on how to use _date_ [http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)

 * You should definitely familiarize yourself with the documentation that Andrew
   posted, but date() expects the second parameter to be a unix timestamp, a long
   type variable, i.e. 234234522423 rather than a string, which would be something
   like ‘Hello’

 * thank you guys for your prompt response, actually i am not a coder myself, but
   i can access the php file, and fix the error with your guidance, i wonder if 
   you can help me out, my client is so restless and i have to send him the site.

 * What value does `$custom_fields['wpcf-eveend'][0]` have?
