在codeigniter中将用户输入日期转换为mysql

Question

Iam new in codeigniter. I tried to convert a user input date with format dd-mm-yyyy to mysql format yyyy-mm-dd. But I got only the functions here https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/date_helper.html. Is there any way to do this? Please help. Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

php can do that, you don't need codeigniter helper

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('18-10-2014'));
