Codeigniter - Date format - Form Validation I'm using codeigniter with PHP . I'm using following form, PHP <?php echo form_open('/register/create_new', $form_params); ?> DOB: <input type="text" id="dob" name="reg[dob]"> <input type="submit" value="Create Account" /> </form> here, #dob is in dd-mm-yyyy format. #dob dd-mm-yyyy my validation code is, array( 'field' => 'reg[dob]', 'label' => 'DOB', 'rules' => 'required' ) How can i set the rules for correct date validation? rules If possible - consider using separate dropdown menus for day month year . Less errors for your users, especially with the month and day mixups that can happen. – cartalot Jan 16 '13 at 16:26 ...
