Well, I figure I will use uniqid() to create a unique field (instead of auto increment like mysql) for use in Dyanamodb. That still leaves one small problem.
My date fields appear like this Thu Aug 16 2018. I realize that this is not one of the Supported Formats in standard_date(). This field is coming from a Jquery control on a client browser. So there is little I can do to modify the format. How can I change Thu Aug 16 2018 to a julian date in PHP/CI?
