How to convert MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD?

Question

I have a jquery calendar that sets the input value to MM/DD/YYYY

How would I convert it so that my database column (date) can accept it correctly?

EDIT

Answer 1

You want to do this in PHP, right?

1. Use Explode

   $christmas = "12/25/2010";
   $parts = explode('/',$christmas);
   $yyyy_mm_dd = $parts[2] . '-' . $parts[0] . '-' . $parts[1]
   

2. Use strptime to parse it to a timestamp and then strftime to format it the way you want it.
