I'm using custom form for getting results from a web service.

This is a part of my form

<?php

$form['starting_date'] = array(
   '#type' => 'date_popup',
   '#title' => 'Starting date',   
   '#date_format' => 'd.m.Y',
)

As you can see I'm using the date_popup from the Date module.

It's displaying correct with this format d.m.Y. but after submitting the form, I've got error from a web service, because the string I'm passing . form_state['values']['starting_date'] . on print, the values are with different format.

Lets say a user selects 10.02.2014 (today), the form_state displays as 2014-10-02.

How can I fix that? The web service has to receive only with this format d.m.Y to display the results, otherwise it doesn't work.

  • Thank you for your answer, but that didn't work. There's must be something related with form_state, 'cos I can see with dpm($form_state); that the values are in different format, even I set date_format to the date_popup. Feb 10, 2014 at 21:10
