Need more information.

How/where do you get the date? What are you using it for.

Look at the php manual for date strings: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

 

Also found this Googling php date format:

<?PHP
if (!function_exists('convertTime')) {
  /** Converts time strings from one format into another using
   *  PHP formats.
   *
   *  @param String $dformat Format to convert to
   *  @param String $sformat Format to convert from, e.g. format
   *      of $ts
   *  @param String $ts Time string to be converted
   *  @return String Supplied time translated to the format specified
   *    in $dformat
   */
  function convertTime($dformat,$sformat,$ts) {
    extract(strptime($ts,$sformat));
    return strftime($dformat,mktime(
                                  intval($tm_hour),
                                  intval($tm_min),
                                  intval($tm_sec),
                                  intval($tm_mon)+1,
                                  intval($tm_mday),
                                  intval($tm_year)+1900
                                ));
  }
}

/*
* And for the test....
*/
echo convertTime('%Y-%m-%d','%d.%m.%Y','27.11.2009');
?>

This should print "2009-27-11".

 

Hope this helps.

<?php
$indate = 'Friday 5th of February 2010 10:54:01 AM';
$datebits = explode(" ",$indate);
$indate2 = (int)$datebits[1].' '.$datebits[3].' '.$datebits[4];
echo strftime("%m/%d/%Y",strtotime($indate2));
?>

Try one of these:

<?php
echo date("Y/m/d") . "<br />";
echo date("Y.m.d") . "<br />";
echo date("Y-m-d")
?>
