How can I check an inputed date if it is a valid date and if it is in

Use the cool new "filter" extension to PHP or use PCRE.
http://php.net/filter
http://php.net/pcre

There was also an article in php|architect a few months back about
having the same PCRE for PHP and Javascript client-side validation, so
that you have a consistent set of "rules" in client-side validation
(better user experience) and server-side (actual security)
