PHP - Select From Date Format

I have tried a large number of "solutions" to  this but everytime I use them I see 0000-00-00 in my date field instead of  the date even though I echoed and can see that the date looks correct.

Here's where I'm at:
I have a drop down for the month (1-12) and date fields (1-31) as well as a text input field for the year.  Using the POST array, I  have combined them into the xxxx-xx-xx format that I am using in my field as a date field in mysql. 

<code>
$date_value =$_POST['year'].'-'.$_POST['month'].'-'.$_POST['day'];
echo $date_value;
</code>

This outputs 2012-5-7 in my test echo but 0000-00-00 in the database.

I have tried unsuccessfully to use in a numberof suggested versions of:
strtotime()
mktime

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
I am aware that I need to validate this data and insure  that it is a valid date. That I'm okay with. I would like some help on getting it into the database.

Hi there,

I have a string '12/04/1990', that's in the format dd/mm/yyyy.

I'm attempting to convert that string to a Date, and then insert that date into a MySQL DATE field.

The problem is, every time I try to do so, I keep getting values like this in the database: 1970-01-01.


Any ideas?


Much appreciated.

Anyone know what's up with this?


<?php
    $days = floor($posts['timestamp'] / (60 * 60 * 24));
    $remainder = $posts['timestamp'] % (60 * 60 * 24);
    $hours = floor($remainder / (60 * 60));
    $remainder = $remainder % (60 * 60);
    $minutes = floor($remainder / 60);
    $seconds = $remainder % 60;
           
    if($days > 0) {
    echo date("d/m/y", $posts['timestamp']);
    echo " at ";
    echo date("H:i", $posts['timestamp']);
    }elseif($days == 0 && $hours == 0 && $minutes == 0) {
    echo "few seconds ago";
    }elseif($days == 0 && $hours == 0) {
    echo $minutes.' minutes ago';
    }elseif($days == 0 && $hours > 0){
    echo $hours.' hour ago';
    }else{
    echo "few seconds ago";
    }
    ?>

I am trying to get the full date from form field using the date function and post method.

$fromdate = $_POST[‘sdate’];
$todate = $_POST[‘edate’];
$fromday = date(‘F j, Y, g:i a’,’$fromdate’);
$today1 = date(‘F j, Y, g:i a’,’$todate’);

When trying to print i get the right format but i get extra information not sure from where? I am getting the date from the form fields of type date.

Code Output:

March 19, 2020, 4:16 pm,$31202019pm31Asia/Dubai
