I'm having users enter dates in MM-DD- format. is there a way to
check if what they have entered is invalid (like if they enter 1-15-2008
instead of 01-15-2008) ?
Something like this:
http://www.phpguru.org/date_preg/
?php
// Get this from where ever (format MM-DD-)
echo
i think this ties into the thread tedd started a week or so ago
about the best approach for collecting user data.
it would be much easier to validate if there were 3 text input fields
to collect the data, rather than 1, free-form field.

A regular expression perhaps?

Just in case - I wasn't suggesting only doing javascript validation. I
think I said a simple javascript validation _followed_ (as in at
POST-time) by a semantic check. For which checkdate() seems pretty
optimal.

checkdate() sounds like just the thing.

Making the user type the 0 is just plain rude. :-)
You could use a
