I'm having users enter dates in MM-DD-YYYY 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) ?
$utime = strtotime($_POST['input']);
if ( $utime !== false &&
$_POST['input'] == date('m-d-Y', $utime) ) {
$mysql_date = date('Y-m-d', $utime);
// valid date and format
// use $mysql_date for whatever now
}
else error();
The above will take what ever is entered, as long as it is a valid date,
and convert it to a timestamp. Then it converts it back to a date,
formatted like the original. If they match, the it is valid. If they
don't match, well then...
