there is a "format" application component (Yii::app()->format) that you can use to format date. Just provide required configuration in your config file.

read more about what can be configured and how to call it here: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CFormatter

for converting back and forth when dealing with database reads and writes you could use afterFind and beforeSave handlers.

I didn’t know, about this app component to deal with formating. I was working with CDateFormatter class.
