Date.parse()

[chiprivers]

My php script is working with dates in the format 'YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM:SS'.  I want to pass this into my javascript, at which point I will need to convert it to a date object.

 

I have tried using Date.parse() but it does not like the format of my date string.

 

What is the simplest way to turn this date string into a date object?  NB I would rather do this within the javacript than as part of the php!

What's the format you're using there? Little unusual (and logically flawed) to have the date before the month. Anyway best solution looks like:

You'll need to swap the parameters round for your month and date though.

sorry, that was a typo - should be YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
