start and end date validation for searches [SOLVED]

[eluser]crwtrue[/eluser]
There is no validation if end_date is after start_date. So i would add this to the datechecker_enddate-function.

After if (checkdate($month, $day, $year)) line use strtotime-function to make dates in to unix timestamp like this:

$start_date = strtotime($start_date);
$end_date = strtotime($end_date);

and then check if end_date is after start_date like this:

Code:

if ($start_date < $end_date)
             {
              return TRUE;
             }
             ELSE
             {
              $this->form_validation->set_message('_datechecker_enddate', 'end_date must be after start_date');
                    return FALSE;
             }

Also i noticed that when you are calling the datechecker_enddate-function you are allready passing the end_date-value to datechecker_enddate-function but you are also reading both start_date and end_date to variables using post-function and you are using both $date and $end_date-variables which has the same value.
