mpsn Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hi, how do I evaluate form validation for a date to be in format: MM/DD/YYYY and to be between 2 years and 6 years of age, it's for a daycare center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 can you post the relevant code please. Most likely you don't need a regex for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpsn Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'm actually using WordPress form plugin and it takes in a regular expression only, so I can't tinker with the PHP files. I understand how to implement DD/MM/YYYY as: e.g. /\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}/ if all integers assuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 ~\d{2}\/\d{2}\/(?:200[6-9]|2010)~ restrict the year to ensure that they were born between 2006-2019 (2-6 years ago). Note that this certainly isn't perfect, but it will get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
