What @Magnus Eriksson suggested is, to send format as a parameter and then use DateTime::createFromFormat()

<?php

function change_date_format($givenDate,$format)
{
    $date = date_create_from_format($format, $givenDate);
    echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');
}

print_r(change_date_format('08/02/2012','d/m/Y'));
echo PHP_EOL;
print_r(change_date_format('08/02/2012','m/d/Y'));

Output:- https://3v4l.org/SlNtA
