Question

I’m trying to change dat format on google chrome because my mysql request doesnot work using that format YYYY/MM//DD
is there a way to change this ‘/’ by this ‘-‘ ?

I was looking on the internet several hours, but I did not find any way.

does anyone know how it is possible?

Kind regards.

Assuming the HTML5 date field is called ‘date’ and gets passed through GET, the php code to change the date would be the following.

$dat = new DateTime($_GET['date']);
$new_format = $dat->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

That’s it! Fairly simple, you then pass the $new_format variable as datetime to SQL.
