I want to convert a date field(format: dd-mm-yyyy) to db date format. If input date format is equal to dd-mm-yyyy format then convert date to yyyy-mm-dd format else return false.

function convertToDbDate($date) {
    if($date !="") {
        $result= date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', $date))); 
        if($result) { 
            return $result; 
        } 
        return false;
    }
}
  • Can you please show us your code? What is a sample input value? Where do you see a returned value? – Ben Feb 08 '16 at 12:08

$date = date_create_from_format('m-d-Y', '12-31-2016');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
