strtotime(feb 31 2009)

[dadamssg]

what will strtotime output if one puts in a nonexisting date? im attempting to program an age calculator but dont want to use mktime because it will make feb 29 as mar 1st. i want to recognize non existent dates and don't know how to incorporate checkdate() with if statements...thanks

depends on your inputs but

try

checkdate()

Description

bool checkdate ( int $month , int $day , int $year )

 

Checks the validity of the date formed by the arguments. A date is considered valid if each parameter is properly defined.

so how would i wrap that in an if statement? im not sure what the checkdate will return and how many equal signs to put, etc.

 

if( bool checkdate( int $month, int $day, int $year ) === false)
    {
      echo "the date you selected is non existent, dumbass";
    }

try this

$day=30;
$month = 2;
$year=2009;
if(!checkdate($month, $day, $year))
    {
      echo "the date you selected is non existent, dumbass";
    }
