So is $formsave['dob'] being changed before you get to this code,
causing the check to fail? What else are you doing with
$formsave['dob']? Nothing here is going to cause it to drop a zero from
the end.
Your code doesn't make much sense, though. If the ereg() fails, $parts
is not going to have any value, so why are you referencing $part[1],
$part[2], etc... ?
