[PHP] How to validate this date: 2002-02-31

2002-03-05 Thread Andy 

Hi there,

I am still lacking of one error the user can provide:

Desired format: mmdd

Asuming he enters a date: 2002-02-31 (There is no Feb 31)

Is there a function which check is the date is ok?

Thanx guys,

Andy

PS: I wrote this function which has the whole:
/*
 * Validates the format of date
 * requested format: -mm-dd
 * Return false if not valid
*/
function validate_date($date){
 return ereg (([0-9]{4})-([0-1]{1})([0-2]{1})-([0-3]{1})([0-9]{1}),$date);
}

Try checkdate()

First but may be not probably the best decision is to use (gm)strftime() and 
(gm)mktime().
So parse your string put the data into mktime() with hour/minute/second for exmaple 
12,0,0 . Strftime() will return a unix
timestamp.
Use that timestamp with strftime() to get the year,month and date. If they are the 
same as the parsed the date is valid, otherwise
not.

Best regards,
Andrey Hristov
