cakephp - Date validation not working for the date format 'd-M-Y' -


in cakephp-1.2 application, using date format 01-jan-2012

which date validation rule should use test it?

i tried array('date', 'dmy') . not working.

by reading book, can see cannot use separators in date validation field algorithm have selected. need create custom validation rule. can using custom regular expression rule:

'/^((31(?!\\ (feb(ruary)?|apr(il)?|june?|(sep(?=\\b|t)t?|nov)(ember)?)))|((30|29)(?!\\ feb(ruary)?))|(29(?=\\ feb(ruary)?\\ (((1[6-9]|[2-9]\\d)(0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|((16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00)))))|(0?[1-9])|1\\d|2[0-8])\\-(jan(uary)?|feb(ruary)?|ma(r(ch)?|y)|apr(il)?|ju((ly?)|(ne?))|aug(ust)?|oct(ober)?|(sep(?=\\b|t)t?|nov|dec)(ember)?)\\-((1[6-9]|[2-9]\\d)\\d{2})$/';

note: rule modified version of canned ones cake shipped with.

so, want do:

var $validate = array(     'born' => array(         'rule' => '/^((31(?!\\ (feb(ruary)?|apr(il)?|june?|(sep(?=\\b|t)t?|nov)(ember)?)))|((30|29)(?!\\ feb(ruary)?))|(29(?=\\ feb(ruary)?\\ (((1[6-9]|[2-9]\\d)(0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|((16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00)))))|(0?[1-9])|1\\d|2[0-8])\\-(jan(uary)?|feb(ruary)?|ma(r(ch)?|y)|apr(il)?|ju((ly?)|(ne?))|aug(ust)?|oct(ober)?|(sep(?=\\b|t)t?|nov|dec)(ember)?)\\-((1[6-9]|[2-9]\\d)\\d{2})$/i',          'message' => 'enter valid date in day-mon-year format.'     ) ); 

note: 'i' @ end of regular expression, denotes case insensitive match. match 24-dec-2006, 24-dec-2006, , 24-dec-2006 alike. remove if want accept case sensitive match.

now, can run rule against field in question, , should go.

good luck.
