Time and again date parsing issue comes up and I find myself looking all over the net for finding ways to do the same. This post is created to compile all such ways as I encounter:
Parsing Dates
If your date format is: yyyy-mm-dd, you can simply use strtotime and date function to get the desired date format
$data[] = date( 'd-m-Y', strtotime('2012-03-21')); //get the format as 21-03-2012
Get Dates Using Strotime
strtotime can recognize certain keywords.
<?php
echo strtotime('now');
echo strtotime('+4 days');
