How can I check an inputed date if it is a valid date and if it is in
the form of a timestamp or regular date such as (22-07-2007 or
22/07/2007)


You could first check if the variable consists only of numbers. If so, it's likely a timestamp. If $var does consist of something other than digits, pass it to strtotime() first.



$arr_date = (
        ctype_digit($var)
        ? getDate($var)
        : getDate(strtotime($var))
        );

Finally, check that the date is legitimate:

if (checkdate($arr_date['mon'], $arr_date['mday'], $arr_date['year']))
{
        ...
}
