Whether data type of key is varchar(size) or date in your database?

@dheerajjoshim
its date and field name is dob

[gregerly]

Try

$dob = $year. '-' . $month . '-' . $day;

you change your data type in your table.., ie., VARCHAR(100)...

[vinothPHP]

you changed this $dob="$year/$month/$date"; to
$dob=$year."-".$month."-".$date";....
now you store $dob it will be worked...
