Formatting a date using jQuery datepicker

Question

I request a date from datepicker by this line:

var checkIn=jQuery(".booking-date-fields).datepicker('getDate');

The output is:

Wed Dec 02 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Morocco Standard Time)

How can I format this using php or javascript to a YYYY-MM-DD format:

2015-12-02

Help help please !!!

php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php

In PHP you convert the string to UNIX time with strtotime and convert it as you wish with the date function:

//$_GET['checkIn']  = 'Wed Dec 02 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0000';
$getDate = $_GET['checkIn'];
$date = strtotime( substr( $getDate, 0, strpos( $getDate, '(' ) ) );
echo date( 'Y-m-d', $date );
// Output "2015-12-02"

Edit An ugly but working fix...

I had to remove the parenthesis from the string. Now it should work!
