Re: [PHP] Way to test if variable contains valid date
Or you could use a regular expression:
$probe = '2000-01-01';
$found = preg_match('/(19|20)\d\d[- \.](0[1-9]|1[012])[-
\.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/', $probe);
var_dump($found==1);

There is no such function or facility in php. However you can check date in
string by DateTime object also
try {
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01');
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit(1);
}
Check php.net/datetime.construct
