PHP Function to find if a variable is a valid date?
Hello to everyone,

Is there a built-in function in PHP to validate if the entered value is a valid date? Like, is_number()?

Thanks a lot in advance.

simply use (bool) checkdate($givenMonth,$givenDay,$givenYear)
it's all that you need.

regards,

you can always do is_numerical($date){ but the above method is better for a more specific checking

Hi guys,

Thanks for the info. I wonder why PHP didn't make a built-in function for it(like isDate() in VB).

More power.

i feel the internals will reply like this: it's more like user issue rather than php issue. anyway, this suggestion is ok. i'll try to forward it.
