I have seen that many people are searchign for date formatting for dd-mm-yyyy format while mysql default supports yyyy-mm-dd , here is a function which flip the date. I hope you will find it useful

<?php
function flipdate($dt, $seperator_in = '-', $seperator_out = '-')
{
return implode($seperator_out, array_reverse(explode($seperator_in, $dt)));
}
?>

I wonder what the use of that would be.
PHP already has a built-in date function that you can use to format dates.

Yes , php is giving you facility to having date format. But its diffcult to set for date other than current date. Plus no need to format it for every instance at our function call.

Difficult to set for a date other than the current? Not exactly. A better method:

$new_date = strftime('%d-%m-%Y', strtotime($old_date));

The advantage is that strtotime() will convert a timestamp in a wide range of formats.

Great! Someone says "Everything is easy if you know it" , Now I know this technique so I can say its not tought. I would prefer to use this format now.

Thanks for your help.
