You might want to look into date conversion on the MySQL side:

Look for
DATE_FORMAT(date,format)

Hi all,
can someone kindly point me to a resource that converts all kinds of
possible date inputs into MySQL format of -MM-DD?
example of formats to be converted includes:
d/m/yy
d/m/
d/mm/yy
d/mm/yyy
dd/mm/yy
dd/mm/yyy
d/mmm/yy
d/mmm/
dd/mmm/yy
dd/mmm/
yy - 2 digit representation of year
- ful numeric representation of year
m - numeric representation of month, without leading zero
mm- numeric representation of month, with leading zero
mmm - short textual representation of month
d - day of month without leading zero
dd - day of month with leadin zero
thanx!

This question belongs more to the general list, but anyway:
You can use strtotime() to convert various formats to a timestamp. Then use
date() to convert it back to your preferred date format:
$timestamp = strtotime($inputDate);
$isoDate = date('Y-m-d', $timestamp);
