help with date validation

[xcoderx]

ok why am i getting error here anyone can guess?

 

all im trying to do is the fields should be numeric and length should be 10 along with 2 -

 

$date = $_POST['!date'];
if(strlen($date) < 10 || !is_numeric($date) !=1-1);
    $user_profile['id'] = $_POST['user_id'];
{
$error['date']='error';
    }

What are you trying to do with this part of your conditional:

 

!is_numeric($date) !=1-1

 

??

Haha, yes.

 

If $date is numeric then your condition says if !true which is false is not equal to 0.

If $date is NOT numeric then your condition says if !false which is true is not equal to 0.
