look up two functions in the online manual. strtotime() and date()
strtotime will give you a unix timestamp for just about any date possable,
date will format it the way you need. to get it into a mySQL date field,
basicaly, you do this:
date("y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['date']))
where $_POST['date'] is whatever variable you used.
