Hi!

I want to validate the date inputted. If the date is in this format 11/24/2014 it is okay. But if the format is 11/24/2014 0:00 it should return false.

Here is the code:

PHP

//<-- I hope to write the validation here.
//Edit format of excel date to sql date.
$date = explode("/", addslashes($data[16]));
$datePurchased = $date[2]."-".$date[0]."-".$date[1]." 00:00:00";

Thank you and God bless.

Only ISO 8601 formats are acceptable -- YYYY-MM-DD
