CRUD operations with php

When saving a date in a 'date' field, you need make sure the date is formatted properly. The correct format is YYYY-MM-DD.

Complete the function to convert a passed date into a SQL safe date and return the results using the following requirements: -Use the date() function to properly format the passed date. -Use the strtotime() function to accept anything from a date in a different format to a string like 'yesterday'.

need help with that challenge guys, i have been stuck for a while now.

index.php 
<?php

function convert_date_sql($date) {
    //add your code here  

}
