Preg_match Question

[centohi]

When $dateStr is assigned the value "2007-11-01" (as an example), does anyone have any ideas why this code always echoes "bad". What am I doing wrong?

 

 

if (preg_match("/^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2}$/", $dateStr) == TRUE)

{

echo "good";

}

else

{

echo "bad";

}

Welcome to the forums Craig

 

I tested this:

><?php
$dateStr = "2007-11-01";
if (preg_match("/^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{1,2}-[0-9]{1,2}$/", $dateStr) == TRUE)
{
echo "good";
}
else
{
echo "bad";
} 

?>

 

This returns good for me. Are you sure you are setting $dateStr to that date? It also works without the "== TRUE".
