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

I will suggest to use strtotime() function and then date(). By this you can convert any format of date.

$unix_time_stamp = strtotime($mm_dd_yyyy);
$yyyy_mm_dd = date(Y/m/d,$unix_timestamp);

Answer 2

assign the date values to variable $d

$dob denotes the date which you wish to convert

$d= date('Y-m-d',strtotime ($dob) );

Answer 3

$date = "07/12/2010";
$your_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date));

I hope my answer is useful :)

Answer 4

Alternatively you can do this without using the explode:

$date = "12/25/2010";
$mysql_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date));

You can now use $mysql_date to insert into your database.
