date validation

[phpretard]

I am trying to vslidate a date format to this - MM-DD-YYY

 

The catch is that the date is submitted like this:

 

<input name='LICEXP[$i]' value='$LICEXP[$i]'>

 

There can be up to 4 dates.

 

Here's my current code:

 

$LICEXP=$_POST['LICEXP'];


	if (!ereg ("([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{4})", $LICEXP)) {
	echo"error";
	}

 

It just echo error for erthang?

 

Any help...

 

I have searched but can't find.  So here I am.

<?php
$LICEXP=$_POST['LICEXP'];

if (!ereg ("([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{4})", $LICEXP)) {
echo "error";
} else {
echo "correct.";
}
?>

 

Welcome to PHP

I appreciate the quick response but this code validates all the posts as one.

 

There could be up to 4 and it is posted as an array.
