I don't think it's strictly correct to say that you're storing dates in your MySQL database as yyyy-mm-dd. The internal representation may be something very different than this, but in any case your real question is how to format the date in a certain way. One option is to handle this in your actual MySQL query using DATE_FORMAT(), e.g.

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_col, '%d-%m-%Y')
FROM yourTable

if (preg_match("/([0-9]{4})\-([0-9]{2})\-([0-9]{2})/", $data2['emp_dob'], $rg))
  $data2['emp_dob'] = $rg[3]."-".$rg[2]."-".$rg[1]

use this function, which uses inbuilt function 'substr(str,start,length)'.

function getFormatDate($date){
    $date = substr($date,8,2).'-'.substr($date,5,2).'-'.substr($date,0,4);
    return $date;
}

getFormatDate($data2['emp_dob']);

`echo date("d-m-Y", strtotime($data2['emp_dob']));` You can pass date format specifier to make date format using `date()` Function. Here is the doc http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php – Sumon Sarker Mar 27 '17 at 07:20
