Re: Date Validation

Hi Just a suggestion ... try using mktime to generate the timestamp for the dates and then evaluate them as such eg. for today's timestamp: $td = mktime( 0,0,0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y') ) break up the incoming date list ($day, $month, $year) = split ('[/.-]', $datetocheck ); $id = mktime( 0,0,0,$month, $day, $year ) then you can use the evaluation '$td > $id' ----- Original Message ----- From: TV Karthick Kumar <tvkarthick@myrealbox.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 4:34 PM Subject: [PHP] Date Validation > Hi all > > I have some strange problem in Validating the date. > > I am working on some web application which is like Events in an Address > book for our customers.
