How to convert Datepicker Date using PHP strtotime & date function?

Question

I am using datePicker for date selection in the front end. I have shown date like this:

September,30 2012

But when I receive it in PHP and try to convert it into date format, it generates wrong date.

$var = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('September,30 2012'));

The above gives me 1970/01/01.

Just remove the , from the datepicker's output..And it'll be fine

$var = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('September 30 2012'));

gives you 2012-09-30

And to remove comma,use

$daf = 'September 30 2012';
echo str_replace(',','',$daf); // gives September 30 2012

This may work

 $var = date('F d y', strtotime('September 30 2012'));

i think its the comma that is doing that... removing comma gives u correct answer.. try this

echo date('Y-m-d',strtotime('September 30 2012'));

just remove the comma and you get the solution

<?php
    $date = 'September,30 2012';
echo $var = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('September-30-2012')); //this gave me 1970/01/01

or just remove the dash it works in both scenario

Here is the working solution
