Getting the selected year from a customed year picker

I have this custom datepicker which I named as yrpicker. 

$('.yrpicker').datepicker({
  format: "yyyy",
  autoclose: true,
  minViewMode: "years"
});

enter image description here

This displays only the year-format.

But my problem is whenever I select a year ex. 2010, and save it on the database, I only get the current year which is 2017. How can I fetch the selected desire year.

Below is my php declaration and my html form. 

<div class="form-group col-md-2">
<label for="elem_school">Started</label>
    <input type="text" class="form-control datepicker yrpicker" name="elem_yrStarted" id="yrStarted" placeholder="From">
</div>

Solution

  • just replace 

    $elemgraduate=date('Y',strtottime($_POST['elem_yrGrad']));
$elem_yrStarted=date('Y',strtottime($_POST['elem_yrStarted']));
$elem_lastYearAttended=date('Y',strtottime($_POST['elem_lastAttended']));

    WIth

    $elemgraduate=$_POST['elem_yrGrad'];
$elem_yrStarted=$_POST['elem_yrStarted'];
$elem_lastYearAttended=$_POST['elem_lastAttended'];

    Regards :)
