im trying to validate a date to see if it matchs the mysql format
this is the code
$match = "/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} [0-2][0-3]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]$/";
$s = $this->input->post("report_start"). " " . $this->input->post("report_start_time").":00";
$e = $this->input->post("report_end"). " " . $this->input->post("report_end_time").":59";
if($this->input->post("action") != "")
{
echo trim($s). " => " . preg_match($match, trim($s));
echo "
";
echo trim($e). " => " . preg_match($match, trim($e));
}
the date format goes into $s and $e are
$s = 2011-03-01 00:00:00
$e = 2011-03-01 23:59:59
and they both return false (0).
however if i manual inter the date strings into preg_match like
preg_match($match, "2011-03-01 00:00:00")
it works.
i have no idea what im doing wrong
======================
now that i think about it, i only need to validate the houre:min part of the datetime string.
im manually adding the seconds and the date is forced by a datepicker and users cant edit it
解决方案
ok heres wat i did.
since im forcing the date format and the ending seconds of the time part
i just validated the hour:mini part using "/^2[0-3]|[01][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]$";
and if that returns true i put everything together end reconstructed the final datetime string
$match = "/^2[0-3]|[01][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]$/";
$s_d = $this->input->post("report_start");
$s_t = $this->input->post("report_start_time");
$e_d = $this->input->post("report_end");
$e_t = $this->input->post("report_end_time");
if($this->input->post("action") != "")
{
if(
( preg_match($match , trim($s_d." ".$s_t.":00")) )
&& ( preg_match($match , trim($e_d." ".$e_t.":59")) )
)
{
$r = $this->model_report->client_hours_logged(array($s,$e));
$data['report'] = $r;
var_dump($r);
//$this->load->view("report/client_hours_per_client",$data);
}
}
