====== DATE() Function ======

The DATE() function is used to output a formatted date

Usage:

''DATE('format_string', func, offset)'' - see below for description.

format_string - standard PHP formatting - see [[https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php]] for more 

type - 5 for start of period, and any other value for the current date

offset - offset from the date (backwards).  Values could be: 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year

type - 10 - for a hard coded time (linux timestamp).  offset field would be the timestamp itself.  You can use this to for example display hours and minutes for run time, etc.  Just use DATE('%H:%M',10, 600) for 10 minutes for example.
