note 49927 added to function.ereg

Since the example has the purpose of validating the date in $date and not just change it, the regular expression is not accurate, because a date like 0000-00-00 is validated. It should be something like this: (19[0-9]{2}|20[0-5]{2})-(0[0-9]|1[0-2])-([12][0-9]|3[01]) this regular expression is still not totally correct because it's not sensible to a impossible date like 2005-02-31. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49927 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49927&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49927&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49927&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49927&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49927&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49927&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
