According to the docs:
"IsDate checks only the U.S. date format. For other date support, see LSDateFormat. "
However, the code below returns "YES" in both cases:
<CFOUTPUT>
isDate("05/25/2003") = #isDate("05/25/2003")#
<BR>isDate("25/05/2003") = #isDate("25/05/2003")#
</CFOUTPUT>
The first date is correct, but again, and contrarily to the specs, CF is guessing that
"25/05/2003"
although not a valid American date, might be a valid European date after all.
Both in CF 5 and CFMX :-(
Please MM stop that random and guessing behaviour in CF, we are trying to write proper
code,
we don't run a casino!
If we want to check a date in American format, we don't give a dam it could eventually
be a correct date
if we had intended to enter an European date.
