Don't do this as a text field, do it as a date field; look at
QuickForm_example.php, for stuff like this:
// Date elements
$form->addElement('date', 'dateTest1', 'Date1:',
array('format'=>'dmY',
'minYear'=>2000, 'maxYear'=>2004));
$form->addElement('date', 'dateTest2', 'Date2:',
array('format'=>'d-F-Y',
'language'=>'de'));
$form->addElement('date', 'dateTest3', 'Today is:',
array('format'=>'l D d M
Y'));
