Date format

List people: I aploogize if this issue has been resolved in the past, but I am new to php and I could find an answer in the archives. Problem: I have a form that a user inputs a date (mm/dd/yyyy) and I want to convert that to the mysql date yyyy-mm-dd so it can be inputed in to the database. I have tried the date() command with no luck and I am out of options to try. I can get the date out of mysql once it gets there, but putting it into the correct format has been a problem. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Mark Bomgardner ex-lasso person new php person
