Hello,

What is the best way to make sure a date entered is valid for mm/dd/yyyy?
I am using form_input

Thanks

Frank

Still not working.
Does anyone have an example of date validation?

Hey Frank,

You could try splitting out the date using explode().

Then once it's split, do a validation check on each array item.

Hope it helps.
