For those interested, I found the following code that seems to work:

$mydate = $_POST["mydate"];

//Date formated as dd/mm/yyyy
list($d, $m, $y) = preg_split('/\//', $mydate);

$mydate = sprintf('%4d%02d%02d', $y, $m, $d);
print $mydate;

There may be a better way, such as telling PHP that the dates are
formatted as dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy so that strtotime will
work without the above kung-fu, but I don't know.
