I'm looking for a function which enables me to allow user
only to enter those dates which are still to come. In my head
I have three select things... one for day, one for month and
one for year. In order to prevent the user from submitting the
form with the date which is in past, I need probably Javascript.
Am I correct?
Only if you want to check before the form gets submitted...
I rather prefer to keep my site Javascript free and therefore it
would be great if somebody has already written such a function
and would be ready to share it with me/others. If not, any ideas
how to start...
Here is a function I use. Call after the form is submitted.
function verifyDate( $date_month, $date_day, $date_year, $notprior = ) {
// v. 1.1
// 1999.11.19 - to check to make sure that the selected dates are
// within the appropriate range:
// ie. days cannot exceed 31, months cannot exceed 12 and
// years cannot be more than 10 years in the future.
$retval = 1;
$today = MkTime(0,0,0, date( m ), date( d ), date( Y ));
$selected_date = MkTime(0,0,0, $date_month, $date_day,$date_year);
if(( $date_month 12 ) ||
( $date_day 31 ) ||
(( $date_year ( date( Y ) - 95 )) || ( $date_year date( Y
{
$dategood = 0;
} else {
$dategood = checkdate( $date_month, $date_day, $date_year );
}
if( !$dategood ) {
$retval = Date is invalid. Please make sure that the day selected is
valid for the month selectedbr\n;
} elseif (( $today $selected_date ) ( $notprior )) {
$retval = Date Selected Is Prior To Todaybr\n;
}
return $retval;
} // End function verifyDate();
