在javascript“dd monthstring，yyyy”中解析datepicker日期

Question

Is there an easier way of getting a datetime from a string such as this: "29 March, 2014" in JAVASCRIPT

I've done it within PHP, but I want to fiddle with some front end to add days to the date etc..

Here is the required PHP code to achieve this:

function removeDateComma($string){
    $without_comma = preg_replace('/,/', '', $string);
    return $without_comma;
}

function getYearMonthDayFromDate($string){
    $array  = array();
    $string = removeDateComma($string);
    $string = strtotime($string);
    $year   = date('Y', $string);  
    $month  = date('m', strtotime("-1 month", $string));  
    $day    = date('d', $string);
    $array['year'] = $year;
    $array['month'] = $month;
    $array['day'] = $day; 
    return $array;
}

Calling this to get the required datetime:

$from = getYearMonthDayFromDate($_REQUEST['from_date']);

Can anyone come up with a solution to this problem? Getting the same result but in javascript?

Edit:

It's already implemented in PHP. I need to do it at the front end i.e. no form submission, I cant send anything anywhere, i've got to get this date from an input field, i.e. var field = document.getElementById("input_from").value; so that will be in the format 11 Month, 2014. So i've got this string sitting here which is useless, I need to get each individual value, i.e. the year: 2014, month: 03 or 3 and day: 11

Thanks!

Try this

 function getMonthName( monthNumber ) 
    {
        var monthNames = new Array("January", "February", "March", 
      "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", 
      "October", "November", "December");
      return monthNames[monthNumber ]; 
    }
    var field = $("#input_from").val();

     var date1 = new Date(field); 
        var cMonth = date1.getMonth();
        var newdate = getMonthName(cMonth)   + " "+ date1.getDate() + ", " + date1.getFullYear();
alert(newdate);
