Answer 1

MySQL date format has to be YYYY-MM-DD

Turn it around so it looks like:

$_SESSION['Datum'] = $DateJaar.'-'.$DateMaand.'-'.$DateDag;

Answer 2

after date is inserted you can format after query $new_format=date('h:i:s d/m/Y',strtotime($date_string));

Answer 3

The MySQL date format is actually YYYY-MM-DD, so if you want to insert a date (guessing your datum field is Date or Datetime) you have to set up your string in that way.

If you want to insert your date in a different way you should use this:

INSERT INTO enrties (datum) VALUES (str_to_date('01/02/2000', '%d/%m/%Y')); 

but this will save always the date in YYYY-MM-DD way, since is the default for mysql.
