$date_array = explode("/",$date); // split the array
$var_day = $date_array[0]; //day seqment
$var_month = $date_array[1]; //month segment
$var_year = $date_array[2]; //year segment
$new_date_format = "$var_year-$var_day-$var_month"; // join them together
Possibly a more MySQL friendly format in some circumstances.
Change period-separated to slash-separated or vice versa (and reverse order)
Convert date from YYYY/MM/DD to DD.MM.YYYY (and from DD.MM.YYYY to YYYY/MM/DD)
