title: formatting date string in cakephp
body: <p>I'm new to cakephp, I've got a simple Users controller that corresponds to a users table. I have a created field in the table that I want to ouput on the view action using the niceShort() function. how do I use it in the view?</p>
  
  <p>Current code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;Member since &lt;?php echo $user['User']['created']?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
