Hi, try using this in PHP and you will surely get what you want, I was searching for the same but didn't found but later discovered I had the date-time formula used somewhere and modified it to get this.

$getdatetime=date_create('2020-May-21'); $dateconverted=date_format($getdatetime,'Y-m-d'); echo $dateconverted;

Try to use DateTime PHP class:

$date = "2012-Sep-01";
$result = DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-M-d", $date)->format("Y-m-d");

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-M-j', '2012-Sep-01');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

Actually stolen from the manual: http://us.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php

This might work for you:

echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime($yourCurrentDateVat))'

PHP website is down at the moment, but here is some extra info on the date function.

$timestamp = strtotime('22-09-2008');
$new_date = date("y-m-d", $timestamp);

You should use strtotime(). More info on here. And then date() to create a new string. More info on that here.

$date = '2012-Sep-01'; //Sets your date string
$time_epoch = strtotime($date); //Converts the string into an epoch time
$new_date = date('Y-m-d', $time_epoch); //Creates a new string

Use strtotime():

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('2012-Sep-01'));
