Date Validation

[phpretard]

I am trying to make sure someone post a date at least greater than today.

 

if (!ereg ("([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{4})", $LicEXP))

 

All I can figure is the format?

 

Any help today?

This can work depending on how you have them input the day month and year.  If you do them as 3 different boxes then you can usesomething like the below.  Obviously you will have to do some error checking to make sure you do not go from the 31st to the 1st.  If so then compare months and same for years. It could be a quick function.

<?
$today = date("j, m, y");
$daytoday = date("j");
echo "$today";
echo "<br>";
echo "$daytoday";
echo "<br>";

$tomorow = date("j")+1;
echo "$tomorow";
echo "<br>";
if ($daytoday > $tomorow) {
echo "You are in the future";
}
else {
echo "You are in the past";
}
?>

Just use strtotime()/mktime(). Then check to see if the returned integer is greater than time().
