Simple Date Question

[pj-away]

What is the best way to deal with this ?

I have users who want to enter a date in the Format DD/MM/YYYY. (via a form)

I need to check the date is valid and then format it to inset it into a mysql database which wants it in the format YYYY/MM/DD

Please could someone give me a good example of how to do this - I sure its simple - but I can get my head round this one today

There are actually a few ways you could do this, but this is probably the easiest:

$date = "10/14/2003";
list($month, $day, $year) = explode("/", $date);
echo $year."/".$month."/".$day;
