Hi,

I have 3 dropdowns. 1 for day, 1 for month and 1 for year.

Does anyone have a script that will varify that the date chosen is a real
calendar date (i.e takes into account different lengths of months and also
leap years)?

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

Raj (Newbie)



There are a few date settings that are always constant and a couple to watch out
for. There are always 12 months in a year and a month has either 30, 31, or 28
days except leap year where there's 29 in February. You can probably define some
rules, such as which months have how many days. Months might be text (Jan.,
January) or maybe numbers (01, 1, etc) so there's lots of things to watch out
for. : )

Usually I don't bother, just intval() everything and make it a date, mktime() will swallow faulty dates and change them, i.e. 31-04-2007 will become 01-05-2007.
