Hi,
this regex isn't perfect at all but might do the job. You should
modify the pattern to match the year part against 2037 as a maximum
and also don't forget to checkdate().
<?php
$date = '30/03/2983 12:00';
$pattern = '[0-3][0-9]/[0|1][0-9]/[1|2][0-9]{3,3}\s[0-2][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]';
if (preg_match("!^$pattern$!", $date) === 1) {
echo 'date is in valid form';
}
else {
echo 'date form is invalid';
}
?>
Hope it helps,
Balazs
