Date conversion error

[jonsamwell]

Hi,

 

I think i am doing this right but keep getting a weird return value.

 

I'm changing a date format from d/m/y to y/m/d using the DATE() function, see below code.

 

However the date i put in is not the date i get back out??

$start_date = '23/01/2009'; //input

$start_date = date("Y-d-m", strtotime($start_date) );

//output = 2010-01-11

 

Can anyone see what i am doing wrong?

 

Thanks

 

Jon

strtotime() doesn't like forward slashes, use this...

 

<?php 
$start_date = '23/01/2009'; //input
$start_date = str_replace('/', '-', $start_date);
echo date("Y-d-m", strtotime($start_date) );
