Date Picker (Display date and value display... )

wispas · January 15, 2010

currently i have the format for my date as 'yyyy-mm-dd' as this is how it inserts into the mysql datbase when i submit for the form...

what i want is the date to be shown in the form as dd/mm/yyyy but when submitted the value of the date will be 'yyyy-mm-dd'. does anyone know how this is done... i have used mootools for this date picker script.

HTML page:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<title>MooTools DatePicker Example</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/DatePicker.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

// The following should be put in your external js file,
// with the rest of your ondomready actions.

window.addEvent('domready', function(){

$$('input.DatePicker').each( function(el){
	new DatePicker(el);
});

});


</script>
<link href="styles/DatePicker.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>

<div class="yep">
  <p>
	<input id="birthday" name="birthday" type="text" class="DatePicker" tabindex="1" />
</p>
    
</div>

</body>
</html>

And the DatePicker script:

You can display the date like that with:

<?php

echo date("d/m/Y", strtotime($user_date));

?>

Obviously replacing $user_date with the right var.
