String to date

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I need to convert a date retrieved from user input to a mysql date.  Here
the problem, I need to convert one of three possible combinations, either
01/01/2008,01-01-2008 or 01.01.2008.  I can't use explode because it's
limited to one character to explode on.  I would prefer not to use regexp,
but think I am going to have to.  The one part of the code that works below
is using 01/01/2008 format.  Any suggestions

echo $olddate = '06/06/2008';
echo "<br />";
echo $olddate2 = '06-16-2008';
echo "<br />";
echo $olddate3 = '06.26.2008';
echo "<br />";
echo $newdate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($olddate));
echo "<br />";
echo $newdate2 = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($olddate2));
echo "<br />";
echo $newdate3 = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($olddate3));
