Thanks Lars

I saw that one already but unfortunately, it doesn't help as it requires 3 inputs . What I'm shooting for is an 'is_date' function that returns true or false with no prior knowledge of what a variable might contain.

Hi

I wrote a serialization function to turn arbitrary PHP variables into Macintosh plist compatible XML but see that there is no "is_date" tester as there is for bool, object, array etc. Is there a relatively simple (and robust) way to detect if a variable is a date? For example:

$person = array('name'=>'bob', 'sex'=>'male', 'date_of_birth'=> $someDateHere);

Thanks for any help

Ken
