Answer 1

if you have datetime avaialable from a from like above format then u just need to use following function.

function localToMysql($dateTime){
  $date_chunks = explode('/', $dateTime);
    $time_chunks = explode(' ', $date_chunks[2]);
    $final_format = $time_chunks[0] . "-" . $date_chunks[1] . "-" . $date_chunks[0] . " " . $time_chunks[1];

return $final_format; }
