Re: [PHP] Way to test if variable contains valid date

2012-07-03 Thread shiplu 


 I want to thank you, Daniel, for this help.  - I was looking for an
 isarray type function


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

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);

 Is there a way to test a variable contains a valid date
 - 4 digits for the year
 - 2 digits for the month (including leading 0)
 - 2 digits for the day (including leading 0)

 OR

 - a function?

You may want to check out checkdate():
