date( ) returns 1970-01-01

Question

I am using a jquery datepicker with the following format mm/dd/yyyy but I need it to be yyyy-mm-dd for the sql db so I am using this.

   $date  = date(\"Y-m-         


        

Answer 1

put dateformat in jquery when initializing the datepicker like

$( "#id/.class" ).datepicker({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'}); 

This format will insert on mysql db(done on client side), otherwise format it on the server side code.
