Re: issue getting dates on form + adding to database

[Peter Brawley]

Whatever date format you're using in the form. it needs to validate the user's input. That's often most easily done in Javascript, eg ...

function isDate (year, month, day) {
  if (! (isYear(year, false) && isMonth(month, false) && isDay(day, false))) return false;
  var intYear = parseInt(year);
  var intMonth = parseInt(month);
  var intDay = parseInt(day);
  if (intDay > daysInMonth[intMonth]) return false; 
  if ((intMonth == 2) && (intDay > daysInFebruary(intYear))) return false;
  return true;
}
