The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Converting PHP Date dd/mm/yyyy to SQL date YYYY-MM-DD

Asked by jaxstorm in Web Authoring, PHP Scripting Language, PHP and Databases

Tags: PHP

I'm having an annoying problem.

Got a date textbox where the entry is dd/mm/yyyy and I've converted the date for SQL into YYYY-MM-DD.

Then I run the checkdate command to confirm it's a valid date ;

it checks the date fine, but then, when putting it into the DB it puts it in mm-dd-yyyy format.

So, if I enter 31/7/2008 it'll convert the 31 into months and end p with some date thats in 2010!
