[SOLVED] Changing Dates

[savagenoob]

How would I change a date in this (01/01/2009) format to (2009-01-01)?

 

[premiso]

strtotime then date

 

or

 

explode

 

$date = "01/01/2009";
$date = explode("/", $date);
$newDate = $date[2] . "-" . $date[1] . "-" . $date[0];

 

$date = "01/01/2009";
$date = strtotime($date);
$newDate = date('Y-m-d', $date);
echo $newDate;

[Maq]

Like this:

 

$date = "01/01/2009";
$output = date("Y-m-d, strtotime($date));
echo $output;

The explode/concatenate method (when you are just rearranging the order of existing fields) is 8 times faster than date/strtotime and it has an added advantages that in the exploded form you can validate the date using checkdate and you can use the explode method with formats don't work with strtotime.
