Making the user type the 0 is just plain rude. :-)
You could use a javascript popup calendar to make MOST users have it
the way you want.
And something like this can validate what you think you want:
if (preg_match('/^([0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}$/', $date, $date_parts)){
list($month, $day, $year) = $date_parts[1];
$unixdate = mktime(1, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
$crosscheck = date('M-d-Y', $unixdate); //Is M for zero-padded month?
if ($crosscheck != $date_parts[0]) error();
}
else error();
