I want to change date format from 08/10/2015 to 2015-10-08

I have tried following code but not working for me.

    $startDate = $this->input->post('startDate');//08/10/2015
    $startDateFormat = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($startDate));
    $endDate = $this->input->post('endDate');//09/10/2015
    $endDateFormat = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($endDate));

Use `$startDate = "08/10/2015;"` – Saty Aug 26 '15 at 12:51

What error do you have ? Everything seems correct. Try to echo everything and see what's wrong. Or echo `gettype` – Hearner Aug 26 '15 at 12:57
this is the date format I am getting 1969-12-31 – Ricky Aug 26 '15 at 12:58
@John Conde this is not duplicate question please look both the questions – Ricky Aug 26 '15 at 13:00
Are you serious? It's an *exact* duplicate. – John Conde Aug 26 '15 at 13:05
With `$startDateFormat = $startDate -> format('Y-m-d');` ? – Hearner Aug 26 '15 at 13:06
If it's not a string why using `strtodate` ? – Hearner Aug 26 '15 at 13:07
Okay thanks for your support it works finally. – Ricky Aug 26 '15 at 13:07
$date = new DateTime($this->input->post('startDate')); $startDateFormat = $date->format('Y-m-d'); //$startDateFormat = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($startDate)); $endDate = new DateTime($this->input->post('endDate')); $endDateFormat = $date->format('Y-m-d'); – Ricky Aug 26 '15 at 13:07
