How to convert MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD?

Question

I have a jquery calendar that sets the input value to MM/DD/YYYY

How would I convert it so that my database column (date) can accept it correctly?

EDIT

Answer 1

We need more information?

1) What script is inserting into database? I am assuming PHP

2) Also we need to know how you are storing the date and in what format?

My solution would be:

$dates = preg_split('/\//',$_POST['date']);

$month = $dates[0];
$day = $dates[1];
$year = $dates[2];

$finalDate = $year.'-'.$month.'-'.$day;
