Hello!!

Im creating a custom form to reschedule an activity under specific paramaters. I already created the form but Im having issues reading the information gather in the form, specialy the date, for that Im using the date_time_selector element. 

if ($mform->is_cancelled()) {

        //Handle form cancel operation, if cancel button is present on form

        redirect(new moodle_url($CFG->wwwroot . '/course/view.php?id=' . 2));

    } else if ($fromform = $mform->get_data()) {

        //In this case you process validated data. $mform->get_data() returns data posted in form.

        $activityname = $fromform->mytime;

        echo 'this ' . $activityname . ' ';

    }

Here Im trying to display the value and I get numeric code and not the actual date and time values. I need this values to update the parameters in the data base table. Could someone point me in the right direction or tell me what Im missing to achive this?

That's a unixtime stamp that you can convert using PHP's date function: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
Just give it the format of the output and the timestamp e.g. `$readabledate = date('r', $fromform->mytime);` (see https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php for format codes)
