title: MySQL Date Format
body: <p>I have a field on my HTML form which asks the user to type the date as dd/mm/yyyy. I then run a PHP script that saves the data to a mySQL database, or it would if I could sort out an issue I have with the date format.</p>
  
  <p>I know that by default the mySQL database saves dates as yyyy-mm-dd, but could someone perhaps tell me please how I can continue to keep the user input date format as dd/mm/yyyy but then when it hits the database it is correctly converted to the mySQL date format.</p>
