print dateWebToMysql('01/03/2008');
Where 01/03/2008 is in dd/mm/yyyy format (not the American format).
What is the best way of doing this?
Any ideas?
completely random and never used myself [ie just made it up]
function dateWebToMysql( $webdate ){
return strtotime(strrev( str_replace('/','', $webdate) ));
}
What exactly do you expect strtotime('80023010') to return?
I tend to always normalise dates to Y-m-d before pushing them into
strtotime, but in your case you don't need to do that. If you *know*
the date always comes in as that format you can simply do this...
function dateWebToMysql($webdate)
{
list($day, $month, $year) = explode('/', $webdate);
return $year.'-'.$month.'-'.$day;
}
