convert date?

hello,

Could someone please tell me if there is a simple way to convert this date '5/15/2002' to '2002-05-15'?
Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Kash

$date="2002-05-15";
$pat = "-";
$arr = split($pat, $date);
echo $arr[2]."-".$arr[1]."-".$arr[0];

you can also use 'explode' to divide the date and save each into array.

Read this article to get all information about date.

Try this:

print ereg_replace("([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)","\3/\2/\1","5/15/2002");

there is an example almost identical to this in the manual for split() or explode() can't remember which
