PHP date conversion newbie

[prachu]

Hi All

I would like to convert dates from dd-mmm-yyyy format to the mysql yyyy-mm-dd format. How does one do this in php?Thanks a lot

One way:

$yyyymmdd = implode('-', array_reverse(explode('-', $date)));

The more general way to do this is, if you want to get from format A to format B is date(format B, strtotime(var in format A))

Mysql format date (http://php-date.com/#mysql) for php's date function is 'Y-m-d', so

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

where $input can actually be the date in virtually any format
