Juan,
your code is wrong as you set the message for non-formatted dates but set a
format before. Also you are using the ISO year instead of the real year.
Could be problematic as long as you are not using as calendar
representation.
Related to isDate:
There is a year 80 BC so it states that the date is correct.
Zend_Date does only check if the date is correct, it does not check if the
string is identical as this is useless for dates...
yy is automatically converted to yyyy (the leading zeros are suppressed).
Also for dates it is not relevant which seperator you are using... even if
it's not "/" as declared by you, you will get a true as a date can be found
which fit's the format.
Keep in mind that Zend_Date can automatically detect the date and isDate
does exactly reflect this. Why should isDate throw an error when the format
can be detected ? :-)
When you need a fixtation of string like if 2 digits are set and a "/"
seperator then just add a validator which checks the string format
additionally to the date.

Subject: [fw-general] Zend_Date::isDate issue
Hello! :)
I have an issue with Zend_Date, I mean, I'm using Zend_Form and creating a
Validator for a element date, so I have this:
$objValidateDate = new Zend_Validate_Date( "MM/dd/YYYY" );
$objValidateDate->setMessage( "'%value%' is not of the format MM/DD/YYYY",
Zend_Validate_Date::NOT_YYYY_MM_DD );
$objElement->addValidator( $objValidateDate );
So, I don't know wich format use, so I test the isDate method from
Zend_Date, then I have this:
Zend_Debug::dump( Zend_Date::isDate( "10/10/80", "MM/dd/yyyy" ) );
Look the format, I'm using the ISO table of constants, and look at the
return of Zend_Debug::dump:
bool(true)
How can return true if the year have just two digits ("10/10/80") ? and my
format have four ("MM/dd/yyyy") ?
Thx for any help.
