You have to specify a date format to your users, or at least assume
Here is a funtion that I use.
A user can enter a date in any of the following ways:
01 01 03
01-01-03
1-1-03
01-1-2003
1-01/03
1/1 03 you get the idea...
This function will standardize the date and make sure it's valid. If invalid it
returns "ERROR"
function fixdate($data){
$aux[0]="";
$aux[1]

You can't. Here are two dates in two different formats. Only one is valid.
- 13/04/01
- 13/04/01
Can you spot which is which?
