Answer 1

If your format is YYYY-MM-DD (2012-10-02), try this code:

$str  = '2012-10-02';
$date = new Zend_Date($str, Zend_Date::YEAR . '-' . Zend_Date::MONTH . '-' . Zend_Date::DAY);
echo $date->toString();

Answer 2

What is the code you are using to call the function?

Different countries use different date formats. Some use dd/mm/yyyy others use mm/dd/yyyy. The order you are passing in the day and month are different from the way the function expects to be called.

Try reversing the month and day before you call the function.
