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

Try the following code:

$date = "01-14-2010";
echo $your_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date));

It will echo 1969-12-31.
