Date validation

[srikanth1184]

Hey Experts!!

I am supposed to do a weird check with dates. I need
something like this

" Any invalid date has to be checked and corrected"

example:

2003-02-31 should be changed to 2003-02-28

while (is invaild date (YYYY-MM-DD))

YYYY-MM-DD = YYYY-MM-DD -1 day

All this is to take care of 29,30,31 days in the date.

Any ideas and clues are greatly appreciated !!

I have never validated a date before. Lol

Anyway. Im Pretty sure you need to use mktime with date.

planetsim, why is it so funny to validate a date e.g. from user input (thinking about credit card expiration date or something)?

I'd use checkdate() if I only wanted to validate, and mktime() is helpful if you wanted to set e.g. 2003-01-32 to 2003-02-01, but setting it back to the last day of the given month?

probably a loop where checkdate() is called until it returns true while the day is decreased, like:

$day=35;
$month=1;
$year=2003;

while(!checkdate($month, $day, $year)){
    $day--;
}
