date entry form

My users are used to entering the date in their forms as:
MM/DD/YYYY

but since my dreamweaver site is using mysql, mysql likes it as YYYY/MM/DD.

Is there a way to have my text field update the users entry "on post" or some
other way, maybe when the text box loses focus so that it converts it to mysql
format?

Something like this will convert it:

date("Y/m/d", strtotime($_POST['dateinput']));
