Date validation CI 1.7

[eluser]Mat-Moo[/eluser]
Probably not the best way, bit I used a callback on the day validation, and directly took the year/month

Code:

function check_date($day)
    // checkes that the date entered is valid - edit and add - could do with making this more generic
    {
        $check=checkdate($this->input->post('fmonth'),$day,$this->input->post('fyear'));
        if (!$check)
        {
            $this->form_validation->set_message('check_date','This is not a legal date');
            return FALSE;
        }
        else
        {
            return TRUE;
        }
