I can't seem to find the date picker FAQ😟

I am trying to figure out how and where to change the date format on a form and in the email that I receive. Currently the format is like this:

08-28-2015

I would like the format to be like this:

August 28, 2015

Thank you!

Hello LikeStuff,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I format a date in the datepicker?
Date control using CFv5 date picker element
How can I set a default date for a datepicker?
How can I set start and end dates for a datepicker?
Datepicker problems with FireFox
My datepicker is hidden behind the form
Which datepicker should I use?
Adding a Datepicker for ChronoForms v5
Why are my datepicker fonts too big?
How can I link a datepicker to an image or link?
How do I set the date-picker language?
How can I link two datepickers?
Using the jQuery UI datepicker
How can I add a JQuery datepicker?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

I read the below FAQ but the instructions appear to be for the older version of Chrono forms. I don't see the Date Picker config box in v5?

Hi LikeStuff,

In the form itself you can’t change the Format to this version*, you can re-format it after the form submits using PHP in a Custom Code action.

* It might be possible with custom JavaScript or by hacking the code but it if it is essential it's probably simplest to use another jQuery date-picker.

Oh I guess it's changed as we were able to do it in the older version😟

OK. Can I get a hint as to how to use another jQuery date-picker?

Thank you

I need it to display as d-m-Y (which it is), however change to m-d-Y (in a URL) on submit (for a booking engine on an external site).
Please advise on the PHP/code to do this?

Many thanks
