First, let the user know what format you're expecting

Second, Optionally, you can script JavaScript to validate the date when the field is blurred().

Thirdly, You should always have PHP validate that format.

Here's a regular expression that accepts that date format, but doesn't account for February end-days.

(0[1-9]|1[012])(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])(19|20)[0-9]{2}

The above accepts date formats such as

12/30/1995
02/31/2015

but not like

15/20/99
1/1/95
