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

Alternatively you can do this without using the explode:

$date = "12/25/2010";
$mysql_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date));

You can now use $mysql_date to insert into your database.
