I want to convert date array coming from bootstrap date picker to PHP date in yyyy-mm-dd format

Question

I am getting following dates from the bootstrap date picker in my laravel backend.

[start_date] => Array
    (
        [year] => 2018
        [month] => 2
        [day] => 1
    )

[end_date] => Array
    (
        [year] => 2018
        [month] => 4
        [day] => 30
    )

I want to convert the date in to php date i.e

start_date = "2018-02-01";
end_date = "2018-04-30"

If anyone is providing answers please provide the specific code or links.

Do you recieve this date as one array or multi array ($start_date,$end_date) — HamzaNig, Jun 22 '18 at 09:18

You can use implode to avoid long code:

$get_start_date = implode('-',$RequestData['start_date'])  
$get_end_date = implode('-',$RequestData['end_date'])  

$start_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($get_start_date));
$end_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($get_end_date));

You can use date_create PHP Function :

$start_date=date_create($date['start_date']->year.'-'.$date['start_date']->month.$date['start_date']->day);
$start_date=$start_date->format('Y-m-d')

$end_date=date_create($date['end_date']->year.'-'.$date['end_date']->month.$date['end_date']->day);
$end_date=$end_date->format('Y-m-d')

You can use Carbon

$s_date = \Carbon\Carbon::create($start_date[0], $start_date[1], 
$start_date[2],0,0,0);

Carbon is best to use https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/

$dt = Carbon::create($year, $month, $day);
echo $dt->toDateString();
