Formatting a date problems

[Bobby_Jo]

I've been tearing my hair out to try to get this to work -- I've got a date in the following format:

05 August, 2003

I want to format it so that it is like 2003-08-05. I figured I'd just convert it into a timestamp using strtotime() and then use date() to format it into the output I want. But the problem is this: strtotime() does not recognize "05 August, 2003" as a valid date format -- when I try to format anything in that format, it gives me a "-1".

I'm running out of ideas. Help?

Hi,

in that case do something like

<?PHP
  $dt = "05 August, 2003";
  $ts = strtotime(str_replace(",","",$dt));
  echo date("Y-m-d",$ts);
?>

Following the link to Date Input Formats from the manual page for strtotime() would have saved you from tearing your hair out.
