The way I see it, is that CodeIgniter is excellent, and the more people who use it, the better. Being nice to dense people is part of what makes this forum so great, so if replying to a dumb question gets just one more person working with CodeIgniter, all the better.

While I do agree about the more people using CI the better I do think that there are a lot of people who do not bother to read manuals. Maybe we need to point people to the relevant manual pages as part of answering questions.
Case in point, show the user the strtotime() man page on php.net and it contains a link to the date() function which could be used format the date, as well as other alternative functions too.
Unfortunately I think there will always be some people who much prefer to ask rather than to seek
