You should delete ' dataformatas="dd-mm-yyyy" ' from your input tag. This is not valid. A <input> tag will always store a date like (dd-mm-yyyy). To change the format in PHP you can use this: $date = $_POST['date']; $newFormat = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($date)); For further information, have a look at https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
