Validate date in cakephp using jquery

[piyusharora420]

Hi,

 

I have baked one table in cakephp. I have got one date field with three dropdowns for month, day and year respectively.I want to change number of days as per the month and year dropdown in real time. I have worked in same situation in case of core php. But, could not understand how this can be achieved in cakephp.

 

Thanks in advance

You want to be something like this, but in cakephp ? 

Take a look at my script -> http://canada.lesno.net

It was just for example. You could be use js date object or modify monthDays array to every leap-year

@piyusharora420, you could be use Form-Element-Specific-Methods in cakephp -> http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/view/1416/year

For example( assuming that the name of the ctp file is called add.ctp) 

<?php  echo $html->script('date.js'); // Include js file?>
<?php echo $form->create('ModelName', array('action'=>'add')?>
<fieldset>
  <legend>Add something</legend>
<?php 
echo $form->year('year', 2008, 2016, date('Y'), array('empty' =>'Select year'));
echo $form->month('month',null,array('empty'=>'Month'));
echo $form->day('day', null, array('empty'=>'Day'))
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $form->end(); ?>

 

After that, you can include a date js file on the top of the page, to modify default values by their id's. Of course, you need to declare "Js" helper method in your controller before use it.
