note 56024 added to function.checkdate

The function of phil@philmo contains a few errors... I corrected them as far as I found them and tried to improve the code. <?php /** * Checks for a valid date * * @param string Date in the format "MM-DD-YYYY" * @param integer Disallow years more than $yearepsilon from now (in future as well as in past) * @return array [ month, day, year ] * @since 1.0 */ /* fixed: ** - leap years ** - december now is allowed ** - removed unnecessary checking ** if you find any more mistakes, please correct them. :) */ function datecheck($date, $yearepsilon=5000) { if (count($datebits=explode('-'))!=3) return false; $month = intval($datebits[0]); $day = intval($datebits[1]); $year = intval($datebits[2]); if ((abs($year-date('Y'))>$yearepsilon) || // year outside given range ($month<1) || ($month>12) || ($day<1) || (($month==2) && ($day>28+(!($year%4))-(!($year%100))+(!($year%400)))) || ($day>30+(($m>7)^($m&1)))) return false; // date out of range return array( 'year' => $year 'month' => $month, 'day' => $day, ); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.checkdate.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56024 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56024&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56024&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56024&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56024&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56024&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56024&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56024&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
