[SOLVED] convert string to date

[rs_nayr]

is there a way to convert the value of a variable into a date format?

 

something like this:

 

$dt="2009-2-1"

 

into

 

$dt="2009-02-01";

 

any ideas guys?

thanks in advance

<?php
  $dt = "2009-2-1";
  $ts = strtotime($dt); //This makes a unix timestamp
  $dt = date('Y-m-d',$ts); //Now we can format it to whatever style we want
  echo $dt;
?>
