Use the following code:

$originalDate = $_POST['from_date'];
$newDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($originalDate));

In one line `$newDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['from_date']));` – Linga Jan 29 '14 at 07:10
What is the difference between your answer and the OP's trial? – Linga Jan 29 '14 at 07:13
@Jenz : i tried but its not working – Jazz Jan 29 '14 at 07:35
what is the output of $_POST['from_date']? Is it a string? – Jenz Jan 29 '14 at 07:45
@Jenz sorry for the delay answer. I got output as $_POST['from_date'] = 01-29-2014 – Jazz Jan 29 '14 at 09:10
what is the output of strtotime($_POST['from_date']).. actually this should work fine. – Jenz Jan 29 '14 at 09:20
it gives me a empty value – Jazz Jan 29 '14 at 09:51
then itz the problem with your code/value..not in the method.. – Jenz Jan 29 '14 at 11:01
i dont no what exactly is the problem. But I have found the solution using function explode. – Jazz Jan 30 '14 at 12:20

    date_create_from_format('m-d-Y', $_POST['from_date']),
    'Y-m-d'
);

Edakos I tried but not working – Jazz Jan 29 '14 at 09:18
I see. Fixed now the original format, from 'm-d-y' (12-31-13) to 'm-d-Y' (12-31-2013). Please try now. – evalarezo Jan 29 '14 at 10:36
