Sorry, I have tried using preg_match() but it makes no difference and I do not see how strtodate will help me in any way.
I am using this as a validator to keep dates in the form 13-Sep-2007.
Thanks.Leave a comment:

Regular Expression Problem
Hiya all,
I'm trying to validate a date in php to be in the form 12-Sep-2006 for example. However, for some reason the following regex wont work.
[CODE=php]

{
if (ereg("^([012]?\d|3[01])-([Jj][Aa][Nn]|[Ff][Ee][bB]|[Mm][Aa][Rr]|[Aa][Pp] [Rr]|[Mm][Aa][Yy]|[Jj][Uu][Nn]|[Jj][u]l|[aA][Uu][gG]|[Ss][eE][pP]|[oO][Cc] |[Nn][oO][Vv]|[Dd][Ee][Cc])-(19|20)\d\d$", $date))

MySQL and PHP Security
Hiya all,
I am currently building a forum for a website I have made. However, one thing is bothering me. It seems that (although I dare try) if you input sql into the form fields, it would be possible to delete all my tables and run sql commands.
What can I do to prevent this??
On my registration page, all the fields have validation such that it is impossible to enter an SQL query but on a forum when the possible response can... -
Validating Forum inputs
Hiya all,
I've just built a simple forum thanks to "thescript - someone gave me a link to a very good tutorial.
My problem now is this, how do I validate a textarea, which is saved in a mySQL database, such that users can't just input sql and bring down my database - i was thinking along the lines of just looking for quotation marks and then producing an error if any quotation marks are found.
This means... -
thanks that article was very good and ive now got a working forum.

Building a forum
Hiya all,
Im trying to build a forum for a website ive made.
It now allows users to log in by a link to a mySQL database but thats about it.
I was using a book on php and mysql but the chapter on forums goes way over my head - anyone know any links or any information that can help me at least start this web forum?
thanks,
William. -
THANKS a lot for your help, but it still didn't work.
Found a way round it though:
[code=php]
<?php
//start a session
session_start() ;
//$GLOBALS['errors'] = NULL;
$firstname = $_POST["firstname"];
//validate fields
function validate_firstn ame($firstname)
{
if (ereg("^[A-Z][a-z]+", $firstname))
