Hi There.
One way of doing this:
split each string into an array, delimited by the periods
$sDate = '04.09.2002';
$aDate = split( '.', $sDate );
this will give you an array like
array(
[0]=>'04',
[1]=>'09',
[2]=>'2002'
)
now reverse the array:
$aDate = array_reverse( $aDate );
join back into a string, using periods:
$sDate = join( '.', $aDate );
$sDate => '2002.09.04'
HTH
