To convert from user format to mysql I use:
$training_date=$_POST["training_date"];
$training_date=str_replace("-", "/", $training_date);//strtotime doesnt seem to work
right if it has 12-25-2002, but does if it has 12/25/2002
$training_date=strtotime($training_date);
$training_date=date("Y-m-d",$training_date);
To convert from mysql to user I do:
$field_hire_date=$row_current_emps['field_hire_date'];
$field_hire_date=strtotime($field_hire_date);
$field_hire_date=date("m/d/Y" , $field_hire_date);

Subject: [PHP] Date formatting
Had trouble getting this posed at the newsgroup - will try on the maillist
here:
I have a date field passed in a form like this:
"01-02-2003"
Is there a handy function to convert that to other ways of expressing the
date such as:
"01/02/03"
OR
"2003-01-02"
I know the syntax of the date formatting expressions ... just not for the
converting.
Thanks!
