FWIW, the DateTime constructor takes any valid [strtotime](http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php) string, so you don't really *need* to createFromFormat.

Iam Using 5.2.13 Version Which doesnot support DateTime()

Someone 2010-07-27 18:00:34

@Someone: Yes, it does. It's just the `createFromFormat()` method that was added in 5.3. You can pass the date to the constructor instead as Charles said.

Answer 3

A:

In javascript you'd be best off using the Date.js library

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.datejs.com/build/date.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
<script type="text/javascript">
    d = Date.parse("16-JUL-2010")
    d.toString('yyyyMMdd');
</script>
