Hi, is there a PHP function that will convert MM/DD/YYYY to YYYYMMDD?
Also I will need to take into affect some people may put in M/D/YYYY
(some
people may put in 1 instead of 01, 2 instead of 02, etc). Is there a
way
to do this?

take a look at these functions
http://www.php.net/mktime
http://www.php.net/strtotime
http://www.php.net/date
http://www.php.net/time
they should put you on your way

In addition to Matt's links I'd also suggest http://www.php.net/explode
This can be used to help re arrange the dates (MM/DD/YYYY to YYYYMMDD)
with some ease, just explode on the / and then concat the explode arrays
together in the order you want and save that to a variable. HTH!
