I’m trying to convert a variable named $releasedate which contains the string 'May 31, 2011' to the string '2011-05-31 00:00:00' to insert into the database.

I have tried…

$pubdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',$releasedate);

…but it didn’t work.

How do I do this?

    You can use strtotime().

    $pubdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($releasedate)); // 2011-05-31 00:00:00

    CodePad.
