Your controller should look like this:

{
    $date = $this->input->post('dob');

    $data = array(
        'FirstName' => $this->input->post('fname'),
        'DateofBirth' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date))
    );

    $this->site_model->add_record($data);
    $this->index();
}

I think this suits you better
