American Date conversion

Before I start I'm clueless when it comes to PHP.

In my database it is generating an American date format mm/dd/yyyy

I want to make this into a UK date format dd/mm/yyyy

Is there a php code to convert this?

 

function ukdate($usdate)
{
	return date('d/m/Y', strtotime($usdate));
}

// Outputs: 28/12/2006
echo ukdate('12/28/2006');

PHP:

 

nico's code is perfect

 

Cheers Nico!!

I'll try that out tonight.

Another question...

I have a field called 'holiday type' the data in the field is 'Golf' but when I want to display it on the php page I want it to be 'golf' i.e. no capital G. Is there a way around this?

Yes, it's called strtolower().
