Javascript Date - PHP

[sseeley]

Hi I hope someone can help me.

 

I have a date string in PHP (a UK date of birth).  An example is 01-04-1977.  I am inporting this into a Javascript variable

var date_of_birth = new Date(date_of_birth)

.  However when I use

document.write(date_of_birth)

is it showing in a different format.  Can someone help me convert my date to a javascript date so I do some calculations on using the current date?

 

Many thanks in advance.

var date = '01-04-1977';
var adate = date.split('-');
var date_of_birth = new Date(adate[0] + ' ' + adate[1] + ', ' + adate[2]);

If I use

alert(date_of_birth)

with this code the alert I get is NaN?

 

Any ideas?

With what code?
