PHP 5.1.2中的日期格式转换

Question

1.2 and need to convert a date from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd For example if the date is in format 07/08/2014, it should appear as 2014-08-07

How can this be done? I know strtotime returns unix timestamp but it doesn't seem to work with dates with Slashes (/) in it. SInce I'm using 5.1, a lot of DateTime functions are not supported in it.

Please help.

Answer 1

Use DateTime class, strtotime function would create issue when date less then 1901 with PHP 5.3.0

Try this way

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', "07/08/2014");
$new_date_format = $date->format('Y-m-d');
