Here is a sample that I use, Its not exactly what your looking for,
but a little tweaking will get you where you need to be:
var $validate = array(
'expires' =>
array('rule'=>array('date','mdy'),'rule'=>array('validateFutureDate'),'on'=>'create')
);
function validateFutureDate($value) {
$valid = false;
$timestamp = strtotime(str_replace('-','/',
$value['expires']));
$t = time()+(86400*34);
if($timestamp >= $t)
$valid = true;
return $valid;
}
