Im trying to convert a date format of mm-dd-yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd. The latter is how it will be entered into the database.
Heres the code:
$date = $_POST['sched_date'];
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date));
For example, if date is 09-29-2007, it will format it to 09-29-2019.
Any ideas?
There are several ways. Here is one:
$date = explode('-', $date);
if (count($date) == 3) {
$date = $date[2] . '-' . $date[0] . '-' . $date[1];
} else {
// format error
}Due to the specifics of the sorts of string conversions strtotime() will do, this will work for you, too:
$date = $_POST['sched_date'];
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('-', '/', $date)));
