A tricky one - 3 working days validation

Anon

My users select when they want to collect an item using dropdown menus. Has anyone managed to validate this type of scenario so that the form will only be successful if they have allowed 3 working days for their request to be processed.

This is a real puzzle ?!?!?!

Hi,

Ive used this type o thing. I used a db with the text day that they requested x. And unless it has passed three days they wouldt be able to login.

Although you could just use numbered days. say 1 was monday you could:

unless( $day >= 3 )
{
...
}

$delivery_date = mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year);
$three_days = mktime (0,0,0,date("m") ,date("d")+3,date("Y"));

	if ($delivery_date >= $three_days) 
	{ 
	 // SOMETHING REALL SHOULD GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	} 
	else 
	{ 
		echo "<font color='#990000'>Error:</font> You have not entered a collection date allowing three working days for processing.<br>";
		$stop = 1; 
	}
