Date validation:
PHP Code:
class DateValidator {
private $_date = array();
private $_lost;
public function __construct($date = null, $lost = false) {
$this->_lost = $lost;
switch (true) {
case (strpos($date, '/')):
$date = explode('/', $date);
break;
case (strpos($date, '-')):
$date = explode('-', $date);
break;
case (strpos($date, '.')):
$date = explode('.', $date);
break;
}
if (!isset($date[2][1]) || isset($date[0][2])) {
$this->_date = $date;
}
else {
$this->_date = array_reverse($date);
}
}
public function isValidDay() {
if (!isset($this->_date[2]) || !ctype_digit($this->_date[2]) || $this->_date[2] < 1 || $this->_date[2] > 31) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function isValidMonth() {
if (!isset($this->_date[1]) || !ctype_digit($this->_date[1]) || $this->_date[1] < 1 || $this->_date[1] > 12) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function isValidYear() {
if (!isset($this->_date[0]) || !ctype_digit($this->_date[0]) || $this->_date[0] == 0) {
return false;
}
if ($this->_date[0] == 0) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function isValidDate() {
if (!$this->isValidDay() || !$this->isValidMonth() || !$this->isValidYear()) {
return false;
}
if (isset($this->_date[3])) {
return false;
}
if ($this->_date[2] == 31 && in_array($this->_date[1], array(4, 6, 9, 11))) {
return false;
}
if ($this->_date[2] == 30 && $this->_date[1] == 2) {
return false;
}
if ($this->_date[2] == 29 && $this->_date[1] == 2) {
if (!is_int($this->_date[0] / 4)) {
return false;
}
if (!is_int($this->_date[0] / 400) && is_int($this->_date[0] / 100)) {
return false;
}
}
if ($this->_lost && $this->_date[0] == 1752 && $this->_date[1] == 9 && $this->_date[2] > 2 && $this->_date[2] < 14) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function returnDate() {
if (!$this->isValidDate()) {
return '';
}
if (!isset($this->_date[2][1])) {
$this->_date[2] = '0' . $this->_date[2];
}
if (!isset($this->_date[1][1])) {
$this->_date[1] = '0' . $this->_date[1];
}
return implode('-', $this->_date);
}
}
Dates can be input with either the day or the year first (the month must be second); separated with a forward-slash, a dash-minus, a dot, or a space (mixing is not allowed), and a single leading zero is allowed if the day or month is between 1 and 9 (inclusive). The year must be four digits long and not equal to 0000.
Example:
PHP Code:
$validDate = new DateValidator('2000/02/30');
var_dump($validDate->isValidDay()); // bool(true)
var_dump($validDate->isValidMonth()); // bool(true)
var_dump($validDate->isValidYear()); // bool(true)
var_dump($validDate->isValidDate()); // bool(false) (29 or 28 days in February)
$validDate = new DateValidator('1 1 2001');
echo $validDate->returnDate(); // 2001-01-01
If you pass a true value as the optional second parameter in the constructor method then any date between 3 September 1752 and 13 September 1752 will return false. I added this just for fun; when the Julian calendar was switched to the Gregorian calendar in Britain, 11 days needed to be removed to retain accuracy. As such, the 13th followed the 3rd. The dates in between never actually happened.
Time validation:
PHP Code:
class TimeValidator {
private $_time = array();
public function __construct($time = null) {
switch (true) {
case (strpos($time, ':')):
$this->_time = explode(':', $time);
break;
case (strpos($time, '-')):
$this->_time = explode('-', $time);
break;
case (strpos($time, '.')):
$this->_time = explode('.', $time);
break;
case (strpos($time, ' ')):
$this->_time = explode(' ', $time);
break;
}
}
public function isValidSecond() {
if (!isset($this->_time[2]) || !ctype_digit($this->_time[2]) || $this->_time[2] > 59) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function isValidMinute() {
if (!isset($this->_time[1]) || !ctype_digit($this->_time[1]) || $this->_time[1] > 59) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function isValidHour() {
if (!isset($this->_time[0]) || !ctype_digit($this->_time[0]) || $this->_time[0] > 24) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function isValidTime() {
if (!$this->isValidSecond() || !$this->isValidMinute() || !$this->isValidHour()) {
return false;
}
if ($this->_time[0] == 24 && ($this->_time[1] != 0 || $this->_time[2] != 0)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function returnTime() {
if (!$this->isValidTime()) {
return '';
}
if (!isset($this->_time[0][1])) {
$this->_time[0] = '0' . $this->_time[0];
}
if (!isset($this->_time[1][1])) {
$this->_time[1] = '0' . $this->_time[1];
}
if (!isset($this->_time[2][1])) {
$this->_time[2] = '0' . $this->_time[2];
}
return implode(':', $this->_time);
}
}
Time must be input with the hour first, the minute second, and the seconds third, separated with a colon, a dash-minus, a dot, or a space (mixing is not allowed), and a single leading zero is allowed if the units are between 0 and 9 (inclusive). An hour of 24 is allowed only if the minutes and seconds are both (0)0.
Example:
PHP Code:
$validTime = new TimeValidator('24:1:4');
var_dump($validTime->isValidHour()); // bool(true)
var_dump($validTime->isValidMinute()); // bool(true)
var_dump($validTime->isValidSecond()); // bool(true)
var_dump($validTime->isValidTime()); // bool(false) (hour of 24 allowed only if minutes and seconds are (0)0)
$validTime = new TimeValidator('1 1 1');
echo $validTime->returnTime(); // 01:01:01
