Say I am assuming a date format of DDMMYYY
is being sent to me. However, somebody may send 01022014
, another may send 1022014
, another may send 122014
and yet another the year can be given just as 14
. This last case is not very significant. I am more worried about the day and the month.
How can I validate the date, and accept all of these format, and then reformat it to what I want in PHP?
Short answer is you can't. You have to enforce the formatting rule in the frontend somehow. For example, show the months as a select drop down to remove ambiguity and reduce the possibility of human errors.
