I'm having users enter dates in MM-DD- format. is there a way
to check if what they have entered is invalid (like if they enter
1-15-2008 instead of 01-15-2008) ?
Why not use something like http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/
to make it easier for the users? Along with being easi

Just curious why you won't take 1-15-2008. Once you validate it, you
can always assign it to a variable as either a timestamp or a DateTime
object and then format it however you want when you display it, send
it to a database, or whatever you are doing with the date.

Thanks, I think I have it:
$dateexplode = explode("-", $_POST["date_entered"]);
if (!preg_match("/^(\d{2})$/", $dateexplode[0],$data1) ||
!preg_match("/^(\d{2})$/", $dateexplode[1],$data2) ||
!preg_match("/^(\d{4})$/", $dateexplode[2],$data3))

Just in case - I wasn't suggesting only doing javascript validation. I
think I said a simple javascript validation _followed_ (as in at
POST-time) by a semantic check. For which checkdate() seems pretty
optimal.

I would stick to one date field
i think this ties into the thread tedd started a week or so ago
about the best approach for collecting user data.
it would be much easier to validate if there were 3 text input fields
to collect the data, rather than 1, free-form field.
