Well, as much as people know I'm a fan of regex, I would suggest looking for a date type library. Since you mention you are using PHP I can't help you much there, but I'm sure there are some that will take a date in the format you have, and already do the parsing/validation, and should make it easy to play with. Any of the php folks able to recommend a good one in this spot? > P.S.

I'm so confused.... :-P \W is the negative form of \w \w is word characters (alphanumeric, based on locality). so non alphanumeric. Rule of thumb, small letter is a class, capital is the negative. Now, that is in Perl, and should be in PHP also (except the locality, last I *heard* PHP didn't support the l10n, please inform me if this has changed). - -- - -- Jayce^ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAoYPkA10/0O8cAHgRAoVNAKCeJ67Pq8/YmU3Ioc+IJyfqgdvGmgCePUGl t79mw29rlZEp7xQiEZhswt8= =h1BQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
