you can use explode function each values. know returning result mysql in 'yyyy-mm-dd' format .

for example '2015-04-01' value .

<?php  $date = '2015-04-01';  $splited_date_array = explode('-',$date);  $year = $splited_date_array[0];  $month = $splited_date_array[1];  $day = $splited_date_array[2]; ?>
