Checkdate() Error

[shank888]

Hi.

 

Every time I go and submit my form and try to verify a users birthdate uisng checkdate() i always get error:

 

Warning: checkdate() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in FILENAME/register2.php on line 78

 

my code is:

 

if (!checkdate($_POST['year'],$_POST['month'],$_POST['day'])) {
	print "<p>You have entered an invalid Birthdate </p>";	
    }

 

edit: Just want to know what this error means and how I may be able to fix it.

 

Thanx

prolly depends what your putting through, but if you cover it with something like this:

if( (is_numeric($_POST['year'])) && (is_numeric($_POST['month'])) && (is_numeric($_POST['day'])) )
{
if (!checkdate(intval($_POST['year']),intval($_POST['month']),intval($_POST['day']))) {
	print "<p>You have entered an invalid Birthdate </p>";	
}
}
else
{
print "<p>Invalid input!</p>";	
}

 

 

Edit: added intval

kool thanx!

 

it takes away the errors but it says all dates are invalid.

 

example here:

echo intval($_POST['year']),intval($_POST['month']),intval($_POST['day']) and see if the values are okay.

echo intval($_POST['year']),intval($_POST['month']),intval($_POST['day']) and see if the values are okay.

 

I beleive the valuve are correct.

 

When I entered Feburay 26 1989 it shows value as:

 

1989226

 

which to me would be 1989 2 26
