I have made it simple for you:

$day1=$date["mday"];
$mon1=$date["mon"];
$year1=$date["year"];
$date=$day1.".".$mon1.".".$year1;

$query="insert into data (coll) values ($date)";

ERROR!!!!
(try to change the Mysql col. attr. to date)
ERROR!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------
ok try it in an other way....

$pattern="/(\d{1,2})\.(\d{1,2})\.(\d{2,4})/";
if (preg_match($pattern,$heute,$regs)){
echo $regs[3],"-",$regs[2],"-",$regs[1];
$date=implode("-",$regs);

$query="insert into data (coll) values ($date)";

ERROR!!!!
(try to change the Mysql col. attr. to date)

$mon1 = substr($str,5,2);
$day1 = substr($str,8,2);
$year1= substr($str,0,4);

$date=$day1.".".$mon1.".".$year1;

$query="insert into data (coll) values ($date)";

Summery: 
php does not return real strings back and only structures or pointers to structures which make the live of the programmers harder than it is!

My solution: please create a blody simple function to convert dates to strings ... somthing like:

$string=DateToStr($any_date_format);

Eventually I'm very sorry folks I find PHP very nice but
PHP cannot give any basic solutions for dates
which will force me to use Microsoft ASP 

Yeh!, it is slow but at least it works

The only error is your buggy code.

My solution: please don't waste developers' time with false, arrogant claims, and hire someone to fix bugs in your code. It's maybe slow but at least it works.
