note 87572 added to function.checkdate

I put together an is_date function using checkdate. Works the same as is_numeric. public static function is_date($date) { $date = str_replace(array('\'', '-', '.', ','), '/', $date); $date = explode('/', $date); if( count($date) == 1 // No tokens and is_numeric($date[0]) and $date[0] < 20991231 and ( checkdate(substr($date[0], 4, 2) , substr($date[0], 6, 2) , substr($date[0], 0, 4))) ) { return true; } if( count($date) == 3 and is_numeric($date[0]) and is_numeric($date[1]) and is_numeric($date[2]) and ( checkdate($date[0], $date[1], $date[2]) //mmddyyyy or checkdate($date[1], $date[0], $date[2]) //ddmmyyyy or checkdate($date[1], $date[2], $date[0])) //yyyymmdd ) { return true; } return false; } ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 173.48.34.127 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.checkdate.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87572 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87572/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87572/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87572/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87572/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87572/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87572/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87572 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87572 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
