@NogDogMay 26.2011 — explode(), array_reverse(), and then implode() should do the job for you.

@GalwayMay 27.2011 — I'm sure you could also do some sort of string split.

Something like

$array = split('-', $string);

$string = $array[2] + '-' + $array[1] + '-' + $array[0];

I never tested it or anything but it could look something like that.

Would do the exact same thing as what NogDog said.

[CODE]date('Y-j-n', strtotime('Your date here'));[/CODE]
