note 90495 added to function.ereg

In reply to pascalaschwanden: Hi, for date validation use checkdate($mm, $dd, $yyyy) php function, plus an regexp for split values from input string, for example: <?php if (!empty($input_value)) { $ret = false; // aaaa-/mm-/dd if (preg_match('/^([0-9]{4})(\/|-)([0-9]{2})(\/|-)([0-9]{2})$/', $input_value, $regs)) $ret = checkdate($regs[3], $regs[5], $regs[1]); // dd-/mm-/aaaa if (preg_match('/^([0-9]{2})(\/|-)([0-9]{2})(\/|-)([0-9]{4})$/', $input_value, $regs)) $ret = checkdate($regs[1], $regs[3], $regs[5]); return $ret; } ?> regards, Yerko Chapanoff http://www.linkedin.com/in/chapanoff ---- Server IP: 190.54.16.132 Probable Submitter: 200.24.227.242 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90495 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90495/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90495/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90495/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90495/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90495/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90495/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90495 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90495 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
