Below is something I try that ofcourse not work because of rsosort. Here is my code: ----------------------- $lagret_dato = $_POST['lagret_dato'];

     foreach($lagret_dato as $dag){

         $dag = explode("/", $dag);
        rsort($dag);
         $dag = implode("-", $dag);
         var_dump($dag);

What I want is a way to rewrite contents of a variable like this: From 24/7/2013 to 2013-07-24 Is there a way in PHP to do this? Thank you very much. Karl

$conv_date = str_replace('/', '-','24/7/2013'); echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($conv_date)); Result: 2013-07-24

It would be better if you reformatted first since this is ambiguous when you have the following date:

    6/7/2013

Here's a completely unambiguous solution: <?php

    $old = '24/7/2013';

    $paddy = function( $bit ){ return str_pad( $bit, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT ); };
    $new = implode( '-', array_map( $paddy, array_reverse( explode( '/', $old ) ) ) );

    echo $new."\n";
