Hi,
I don't think that one is quite right... Your optionals (?) are
confusing. Why [0-3]?[0-9] AND the \d?
No reason.
Why [0-9] at all (since \d is
essentially [0-9])?
Again, no reason.
Why use the discarded capture group (?:) since the
[0-3] is already optional?
It makes it look more

hate to say this but why not cater for all eventualities and just use
strtotime( $whatever );
Well it just doesn't have enough geek factor...

Thanks. Sad that IE8 won't (I think) support the canvas tag. Though

Plus, strtotime() does non-intuitive things with some inputs...
I'd insist on at least some kind of confirmation page if

Is it possible to use the php filter function to sanitize a regular
expression such as to return just the date part of a string that may be
passed by an nonobservant user?
#\d\d/\d\d/\d\d\d\d#
input would be something like
as02/05/2008df
I want to use the filter to give me just the date

Hi,
Had to have a play with this. Here's my (somewhat stricter) regex:
preg_match('/((?:[0-3]?[0-9])?\d)-([0-1]?\d)-20\d\d/', '31-12-2000', $matches);
if (!empty($matches[1]) AND $matches[1] 31) $matches = array();
if (!empty($matches[2]) AND $matches[2] 12) $matches = array();
You

I'd return an error. You can use this function to make sure they
entered a valid date:
http://us.php.net/checkdate
Provide a template like:
(Month/Day/Year) or for EU (Day/Month/Year)
If it's not valid, return an error and let them fix it. Chances are, if
they entered more characters than a
15 matches
