Date field issue
Solved
-
Hello everyone,
After hours on the internet searching for my answer, I finally decide to ask my question directly.
I invite the users of my site, in a form, to indicate a certain date. This field specifies a format like 20/08/2018. However, in my database, the format is 2018-08-20.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance.

ModeratorHello
You just need to reformat the date into a timestamp so that it can be correctly inserted into your database...
For example:$date="20/08/2018"; $date = explode("/", $date); $newsdate=$date[2].'-'.$date[1].'-'.$date[0];
Or$date="20/08/2018"; $newdate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date));
Alternatively, in your SQL query, it should also be possible to use STR_TO_DATE:STR_TO_DATE('20/08/2018', '%d/%m/%Y')
