Checking for valid dates

1999-11-02 Thread Tubbs, Derric L
Is there a reasonably easy method to make sure that an entered date is valid, I.E. is not 30 Jan 99? I am using Time::Local to convert a date entered through an HTML form into the epoch offset (or whatever you call it) and would like to make sure that valid dates are entered. Thanks Derric L.

I did this using a JavaScript function that runs before the form is submitted to validate the date locally (in the client, using JavaScript Date objects) before submission. Has the side benefit of giving the user real time feed back as well without a send back to the server Brgds, Mike.
