Hi All,
While watching one of Jeffrey Way's CodeIgniter tutorials, I was
gobsmacked when he noted that it was best practice not to have closing
PHP tags as closing tags might introduce whitespace issues. So I tried
syntax checking a few simple pages and, to my surprise, the syntax
checkers accepte

FWIW, this looked like it might be a right royal PITA for me ATM.

AFAICT, it isn't. You can use GET variables by passing them on the
querystring. These can then be accessed via $_REQUEST, which is an
amalgamation of $_POST, $

PHP 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 kernel 2.6.18 returns the same

However, PHP 5.1.6 on CentOS 5.6 kernel 2.6.18 returns bool(false).

I'm posting here for completeness as I've now rolled my own date
validator (code follows my sig). It allows almost all valid 'English'

Again, thanks.
For info, I only need to know that it's a valid representation of a

Many thanks. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my OP, the DateTime

Hi João, and thanks for your help.
FWIW, I thought about that but it didn't work for me. On further
investigation, I'm now completely confused and
s cannot properly handle string input values.
This seems to be such a common requirement that I suspect I've missed
something basic. I'd thus be grateful for any pointers as to how to
properly validate user-input string representation of dates.
Cheers,

I'm scratching my head a bit here. I have a form handling script that

application. Here's the function that tests this:
