PHP Datepicker数据不会进入mySQL

Question

I am building a application for web using php and mysql database. I am using a template for the frontend, bootstrap template, however, when I choose the date and submit the form, the date doesn't go into the mysql, I have set the data type for my date as DATE in mysql. i can't seem to figure out why. Here is the code for the date.

<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Request Date</label>
      <div class="col-sm-6">
       <input class="input-sm input-s datepicker-input form-control" size="16" type="text" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy" name="requestDate" id="requestDate" data-required="true">
      </div>
 </div>

Here is the Execution code for the form:

<?php
include("dbconnection.php");

print_r($_POST);
$id = $_POST['id'];
$seoSro = $_POST['seoSro'];
$projectStatus = $_POST['projectStatus'];
$requestDate = $_POST['requestDate ];
------ the correct one ---------
$requestDate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($_POST['requestDate']));

Please help me guys, it enters 0000-00-00 data into the database.

Answer 1

mysql date format is yyyy-mm-dd,

so before inserting the code, use strtotime() and convert the date to mysql format.

$requestDate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($_POST['requestDate']));
