Re: Filters and sanitizing a regexp

> ... Hi, Had to have a play with this. Here's my (somewhat stricter) regex: preg_match('/((?:[0-3]?[0-9])?\d)-([0-1]?\d)-20\d\d/', '31-12-2000', $matches); if (!empty($matches[1]) AND $matches[1] > 31) $matches = array(); if (!empty($matches[2]) AND $matches[2] > 12) $matches = array(); You could probably do the checks for the day and month within the regex, but it's late :-) -- Richard Heyes HTML5 Graphing for FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari: http://www.phpguru.org/RGraph
