Re: [PHP] checking user input of MM-DD-YYYY

[Adam Williams]

Thanks, I think I have it:

$dateexplode = explode("-", $_POST["date_entered"]);
if (!preg_match("/^(\d{2})$/", $dateexplode[0],$data1) ||
!preg_match("/^(\d{2})$/", $dateexplode[1],$data2) ||
!preg_match("/^(\d{4})$/", $dateexplode[2],$data3))
       {
       die ("you have entered an invalid date");
       }

so if the person enters 01-15-2008 its fine, but 1-15-2008 dies.
