Preg_match dd-mm-yyyy - wolfgang1983 - 05-19-2017
I have this code below which checks the date format dd/mm/yyyy
But i need it to check it like dd-mm-yyyy
Question: What is the correct preg_match that can check this dd-mm-yyyy not dd/mm/yyyy
PHP Code:
if ($this->input->post('dob'))
{
if (1 !== preg_match('/(0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3(0|1))\/(0[1-9]|1[0-2])\/\d{4}/', $this->input->post('dob')))
{
$this->error['dob'] = 'Date needs to have a valid date format - dd-mm-yyyy';
}
}

Try something like that (or use php checkdate method)
Code:
preg_match('/^(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{4})$/', $this->input->post('dob'));RE: Preg_match dd-mm-yyyy - wolfgang1983 - 05-19-2017
